NDepend customizing rule: Static fields should be prefixed with a 's_'
NDepend is a tool that offers a wide range of features to let developers analyze a .NET code base. It comes with about 200 built in rules. But there are a few default rules that do not fit “my rules”. This blog post shows how to customize one and even more important why.
Static fields should be prefixed with a ’s_'
I use underdashes for instance fields and therefor I have a custom rule for static fields. They tend to look even more scary (and that’s what they should) if prefixed with ‘s’. So here is my rule:
warnif count > 0 from f in Application.Fields where
!f.NameLike (@"^_") &&
f.IsStatic &&
!f.IsLiteral &&
!f.IsGeneratedByCompiler &&
!f.IsSpecialName &&
!f.IsEventDelegateObject
select new { f, f.SizeOfInst }
