How to run FxCop for an entire solution in Visual Studio 2008

Question

There should be an easy way, I do not want to run code analysis separately for each project.

Answer 1

Sorry for the dumb answer earlier ... That's what you REALLY do :)

Define each project to run code analysis during assembly:

• right click on the project
• Go to the Code Analysis tab.
• click "Enable code analysis during assembly"

When you create a solution, it runs CA for each project.

Answer 2

I wrote a custom MsBuild task that does this.
