Update CS Project

Welcome to the Update CS Project repository.

Overview

Update CS Project allows batch updates to C# project files.
There are a few main use cases, that all work in batch mode so you can update 100s of project files in one go

1. Adding a code analyzer, that performs static code analysis checks on a project
2. Updating a code analyzer to the latest version
3. Generating a GlobalSuppressions file. This may be required after introducing or updating an analyzer, since that may lead to 100s or 1000s of violations that break the build and cannot be addressed immediately.

Using this tool ensures consistency in enterprise archives, without the need for active checking / gating.

State

This repository is under Active development and used to maintain an enterprise archive with over 250 csproj files.

Usage

Example (WIP)

• Ensure this project is built (see below)
• Ensure your projects are fully built
• Add the FxCop analyzers with the command UpdateCsProject.exe . --addanalyzer Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.NetAnalyzers 6.0.0
• Please build your projects. Most likely it will fail to compile, because the analyzers flag issues
• Add the GlobalSuppressions with the command UpdateCsProject.exe . --suppress

Command line options
