I have installed StyleCop in MS VS Web Developer Express and cannot edit the settings

519 Views Asked by At

I am looking for the settings file to manually change the settings - but cannot find it.

I followed these directions to install: http://stylecop.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Setting%20Up%20StyleCop%20MSBuild%20Integration

(with one exception, I placed the StyleCop.Targets file within my project folder)

StyleCop runs correctly, but I want to change the settings - where do I go to find the settings folder? I read that it looks in the directory that StyleCop.Targets is located, then moves up a directory until it reaches the root of the drive searching for the file - but I cannot find it.

An alternative to finding it would be finding a sample StyleCop settings file online somewhere so I can download it and place it in my directory and point to that settings file. Does anyone know of such a file?

Any help would be appreciated.

you will not see UI integration of StyleCop since the VS Express edition does not support integration of add-ins and packages like StyleCop.

If you are using Express, you could still run StyleCop, but this will require using either MSBuild integration or a pre- or post- build event.
