[RESOLVED] Microsoft.VisualBasic Namespace

[Negative0]

I have a few developers that come from a VB6 background and occasionally they still use some of the functions available in the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace. I am wondering if there is some way to either disable the usage of functions from this namespace or to put up a comiler warning whenever a function is used from this namespace.

I really want the developers to use the common .Net methods, so that our C# developers can easily read their code without having to look up what some of the Microsoft.VisualBasic functions do.

I believe you can remove the namespace altogether but you may end up with broken apps.

I believe that you can use FxCop as part of the build process and add custom rules that will generate the warnings you need.

Thanks, FxCop looks like the way to go. I saw a few articles on writing custom rules and it doesn't look too dificult.
