Cleaning code with code analysis tools

Visual Studio 2022 includes a series of C# or Visual Basic code analyzers that allow us to maintain good code quality and consistent style in the source code. To use this feature by default, projects must be configured on a framework version of .NET 5 or higher. To differentiate compilation errors, analysis violations will appear with the CA prefix in the case of a code quality analysis violation and IDE in the case of a style analysis violation.

The code analysis tools correspond to code quality analysis and code style analysis, so we will see what they are, how they can help us, and learn how to set up and run with code cleanup profiles. Let's first look at how to take advantage of code quality analysis.

Code quality analysis

Code quality consists of having a source code that is secure, with the best possible performance and good design, among other characteristics. Fortunately, Visual Studio can help us to maintain high-quality...
