Headline: I prefer Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.FxCopAnalyzers over StyleCop.Analyzers. Why? Here are the two primary reasons: I can use rulesets I’ve used in the past I can share a ruleset across many projects for consistency Ok… 3.

Well, I use Moq for most of my mocking and there are some techniques you can use for testing that your subscribed, namely by Raise(ing) the event in […]
Live Writer Lives On!
