.NET Compiler Platform ("Roslyn") Analyzers
A number of Roslyn diagnostic analyzers initially developed to help flesh out the design and implementation of the static analysis APIs. -
Metrics-Net
The Metrics.NET library provides a way of instrumenting applications with custom metrics (timers, histograms, counters etc) that can be reported in various ways and can provide insights on what is happening inside a running application. -
NsDepCop
NsDepCop is a static code analysis tool that helps to enforce namespace dependency rules in C# projects. No more unplanned or unnoticed dependencies in your system. -
Gendarme
Gendarme is a extensible rule-based tool to find problems in .NET applications and libraries. Gendarme inspects programs and libraries that contain code in ECMA CIL format (Mono and .NET) and looks for common problems with the code, problems that compiler do not typically check or have not historically checked. -
PVS-Studio
PVS-Studio is a static analyzer on guard of code quality, security (SAST), and code safety. [Free for OSS] [$] -
NDepend
is a Visual Studio and VS Team Services extension that estimates your .NET code quality and Technical-Debt, that lets create code rules with C# LINQ syntax, visualize code structure and focus on changes and evolution.[$]

README
StyleCop "Classic"
NOTE: This project is no longer very active. See the "Considerations" section below.
StyleCop analyzes C# source code to enforce a set of style and consistency rules. It is available in two primary forms:
- The StyleCop Visual Studio extension, which allows StyleCop analysis to be run on any file, project, or solution in Visual Studio without modifying the source code. Visual Studio 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019 are supported by this extension.
- The StyleCop.MSBuild NuGet package, which allows StyleCop analysis to be added to any .NET 4.0+ project without installing anything else on the system.
There is also a ReSharper plugin that can be added using ReSharper's Extension Manager.
Considerations
While pull requests will continue to be accepted, it is unlikely that any major development (including support for newer C# syntax) will be done on this project. It is increasingly difficult and inefficient to maintain the custom C# parser used by StyleCop. The primary motivation for recent maintenance work was to allow developers who were already using StyleCop to upgrade to Visual Studio 2015 and C# 6.
