Where to read docs for Microsoft.CodeAnalysis?

Question

In Visual Studio 2015 (after installing the SDK preview), I created a 'diagnostic with code fix' project. The skeleton code is full of interesting types such as DiagnosticAnalyzer (under Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Diagnostics) and CodeFixProvider (under Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CodeFixes).

Where can I read the docs for these types? I couldn't find them on msdn. All I found was a different namespace with a confusingly similar name System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis .

Ideally msdn would have a full guide to writing a DiagnosticAnalyzer, as well as the usual reference documentation.

Answer 1

These are all Roslyn related, so the best place to look is the Roslyn documentation

It has samples, walkthroughs, FAQ, etc. Specifically here's a PDF file showing How To: Write a C# Diagnostic and Code Fix using a DiagnosticAnalyzer.

MSDN doesn't usually have information on technologies still in preview. I can only guess that until VS 2015 ships all the MSDN articles would be published (but we'll have to wait and see).

Answer 2

Roslyn is now moved to https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn

I think still the documentation is not that very great...!
