Creating a readable FxCop report

Question

Is there a good tool that can convert the XML output of FxCop into something that can be put into a Word document? I'd prefer not to write an XML-FO XSLT transform, maybe someone did something like that already.

Answer 1

Somebody did. You'll find several .xsl files in the Xml subdirectory of the FxCop install directory.

• FxCopReport.xsl
• FxCopRichConsoleOutput.xsl
• VSConsoleOutput.xsl

Answer 2

Following worked better for me.

1. select all the lines in the grid,
2. do a right click, Copy as , CSV.

Go to excel and import the text as comma separated content.

Answer 3

I found that you can simply copy and paste into a spreadsheet and paste that into Word.
