testing C# source code for coding standards

[Marek]

Hi there,
we try to implement a coding standards policy for C# code and I am looking
for some kind of tool that can validate the source code. Ideally, I'd like
to be able to define "custom rules" as well. We already use FxCop but its
purpose is obviously diferent.

I spent some time on the web but not too much luck finding something like
that.
Could anyone give me a directions ?

Thank you.

Thank you Kevin, it sounds OK.
Is there any material available on this specific feature of VS.NET 2005 ?

There are several features on my add-in (below) that can help: Review
Mandatory Text, Review Forbidden Text (both uses custom rules bases on
regular expressions) and if you need something specific the add-in is
extensible and you can provide your custom assembly extension (a "Review
Code Standards" extension sample is provided as starting point).
