I like to use both StyleCop and CodeIt.Right to validate my code – StyleCop because it’s free and CodeIt.Right because it’s really good.

While StyleCop provides only validation, CodeIt.Righ provides both validation and correction of violations.

Unfortunately, CodeIt.Right’s supplied template for code file headers does not conform to StyleCop rules.

Fortunately, CodeIt.Right allows us to define our own template. Here’s the one I use:

<#@ template language="C#" #>
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// <copyright file="<#= System.IO.Path.GetFileName(Context.DestinationFile) #>"
//            project="<#= Context.ProjectName #>"
//            assembly="<#= Context.AssemblyName #>"
//            solution="<#= Context.SolutionName #>"
//            company="<#= Context.GetGlobalProperty("CompanyName") #>">
//     Copyright (c) <#= Context.GetGlobalProperty("CompanyName") #>. All rights reserved.
// </copyright>
// <author id="<#= Context.GetGlobalProperty("UserID") #>"><#= Context.GetGlobalProperty("UserName") #></author>
// <summary></summary>
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
