StyleCop for ReSharper is a ReSharper 4.1 plug-in that allows Microsoft StyleCop to be run as you type, generating real-time syntax highlighting of violations. StyleCop for ReSharper also contains a collection of Quick-Fixes and Code Clean-Up Modules to help you easily fix StyleCop code styling violations.

StyleCop for ReSharper also comes with a ReSharper Code Style Settings File which you can import into ReSharper to make ReSharper’s auto formatting features compliant with StyleCop’s recommendations. If you don’t want to import a whole code style settings file and would rather just tweak some specific formatting settings that are responsible for most of StyleCop’s complaints about ReSharper, I recommend reading these 2 blog posts at Hock Blogs:

Navigating around the StyleCop for ReSharper project page on CodePlex also turns up a lot of additional useful information:

• List of all the fixes currently in StyleCop for Resharper
• Configuring StyleCop Friendly Code Clean-Up Settings
• Configuring a Company Name for StyleCop File Header
• Configuring Inspection Severity for StyleCop Warnings

All in all, I’m enjoying this ReSharper plug-in. It has taken a lot of the pain out of being compliant with StyleCop’s rules.
