A tool for checking .NET code

Get FxCop: "another great tool from those nice people at Microsoft. It is a code analysis tool that checks .NET managed code assemblies for conformance to the Microsoft .NET Framework Design Guidelines. It uses reflection, MSIL parsing, and callgraph analysis to inspect assemblies for more than 200 defects in the following areas:

Library design
Localization
Naming conventions
Performance
Security

FxCop includes both GUI and command line versions of the tool, as well as an SDK to create custom rules."

It forms the basis of their code conformance checking tools in Visual Studio 2005 Team System !

And its currently free :-), with terms of course which you can read at the link site.
