Getting started

Installation

Install the analyzer package into the project that contains your Visual Studio extension:

NuGet package

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.SDK.Analyzers" Version="17.*" PrivateAssets="all" />

The package adds analyzers to the build. PrivateAssets="all" keeps the development-time tooling from becoming a runtime dependency of your extension.

Using the analyzers

Build your extension normally. Diagnostics appear in the compiler output and Visual Studio Error List. Some rules include a code fix that can update the source automatically.

Review the complete analyzer list for each rule's rationale, examples, and limitations.
