Resharper: Code Style Sharing - Coercion

Question

We have a team of 40 engineers working on a common code base. We use resharper and shared our proposed settings, having received an “final” configuration file sent by e-mail that people can import.

However, over time, we want to pull up various things in new versions and new work, without requiring refactoring on older things.

We believe that using the option for general settings for each solution in the file for Resharper settings works great.

We can add .resharper files to our solution folders and mark them in SVN as soon as coding standards are written by our authorities.

However, to easily anticipate one of these files, the Resharper instance is not used unless you enable this option, in which case the file will be overwritten with the current settings. And if you disable the option, Resharper will delete the file.

In any case, can we make Resharper switch to the desired mode and use the file without trying to destroy it?

Similarly, is there a good way to get Resharper + StyleCop to use the appropriate StyelCop configuration files we want to provide?

thanks

Re: StyleCop, having the Settings.StyleCop file in the project, should be enough for StyleCop (and StyleCop for ReSharper) to use these settings instead of global settings.
