SharpDevelop Community

I created a very simple addin to integrate Microsoft StyleCop. StyleCop analyzes C# source code to enforce a set of best practice style and consistency rules. It was and is used internally by many Microsoft groups.

The source and packaged addin can be found on CodePlex at http://www.codeplex.com/sharpdevstylecop

 Many thanks to the #D team for the FxCop addin - this is a very similar task.

Hi, Matt. First, thank you again for updating Alex for #D 3. Second, this StypeCop Add In is excellent. But after clicking "Modify StyleCop" to make some changes, I cannot click OK to save them on Windows Vista Home Basic. The message is like this,

Microsoft Source Analysis

The settings file could not be saved: access denied, "C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\SourceAnalysis\v4.2\Settings.SourceAnalysis".

SharpDevelop by default runs non-elevated, this means even administrative user accounts cannot write to %Program Files%. It is not recommended that you elevate the entire SharpDevelop, but have a separate config dialog that can elevated via UAC.

 Chris, you are right. Hope Matt can modify this add in a little bit to write settings to user specific folder instead of %Program Files%.

Thanks for the bug report. 1.02 is now available, which moves the settings file into the user's add-in data folder. A different setting file can be managed per-project as well, if you would like to do so.

That should take care of the Vista issue.

 Hi Matt, thanks for the fix.
