Complemeting FxCop with StyleCop!

I guess we all know FxCop by Now. But do you know about StyleCop?

StyleCop is a Source Code Style and Consistency Tool.

... FxCop performs its analysis on compiled binaries, while StyleCop analyzes the source code directly. For this reason, FxCop focuses more on the design of the code, while StyleCop focuses on layout, readability and documentation. Most of that information is stripped away during the compilation process, and thus cannot be analyzed by FxCop. ....

Happy Styling!
