C# Code CheckerDoes anyone know if there is a C# code checker that will spot any (or
preferably all) of the following: - Unused parameters in functions; - Unused functions; - Wrong scope (of functions, variables, enums, etc.,) e.g. can their scope be reduced from public to protected or private. Thanks, Paul Paul Jones <non***@nomail.com> wrote:

ReSharper (jetbrains.com) is excellent at spotting this kind of thing within the IDE, but I don't know whether you can tell it to perform the check outside the IDE and produce a report, for instance. -- Jon Skeet - <sk***@pobox.com> http://www.pobox.com/~skeet Blog: http://www.msmvps.com/jon.skeet World class .NET training in the UK: http://iterativetraining.co.uk "Paul Jones" <non***@nomail.com> wrote in message ReSharper, as John recommended, does all of those things well.

I had to stop using it because of a few silly things, like it made my context menu ridiculously long. Chris Paul,
I've been tempted to develop something along those lines - even something for my own use. There are many opportunities here such as the one you've mentioned, plus others such as (for example) passing OK, Cancel, Retry to a MessageBox on the Smartphone - that parameter is always invalid, and changing method to private in a post-op, and notifying you of recursion especially in "public int Age { get { this.Age; } }". I use FxCop regularly and it does help, I wish they would update it occasionally though - FxCop was release 6/2006.

I make sure to only enable the rules I care about. Do you know if MSFT plans on updating FxCop? Do you know of any better tools out there worth trying?

It has a code query
