2 years ago I worked on a huge SharePoint project where we had to run the MSOCAF wizard before deployment to the production environment. And of course, every time a few rules triggered that caused huge rework efforts.

So I ended up recompiling the FxCop 1.36 rules that ship with MSOCAF 2010 to work with Visual Studio 2010.

Today I redid that work and compiled the following sets of rules:

Microsoft SharePoint Online Code Analysis Framework 2010 for Visual Studio 2010, 2012 and 2013
Microsoft SharePoint Online Code Analysis Framework 2013 for Visual Studio 2012 and 2013

Drop the correct binary into:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio {10|11|12}.0\Team Tools\Static Analysis Tools\FxCop\Rules

Or create a custom .ruleset file and tell it where to find the binaries.
