Deprecate certain methods/types

Question

To prevent using some members (or types) is there a way to mark them as obsolete (and sometimes in the future remove them completely).

But is there a way to deprecate members (or types) of the compiled third-party assemblies? Or, at least, to make sure (or to issue a warning) when they are used?

Have you considered crafting a custom Code Analysis/FxCop rule?
