I made followinh changes to the stylecop.json file

"orderingRules": {"usingDirectivesPlacement": "insideNamespace"}

But i am only getting warning and not error in the cs files.

When i place the using directive outside the namespace i don't get any error.

  • It's hard to get the answer you want from the information you've provided. You can learn from some documents with specific steps [How to implement Stylecop warnings](http://sarangasl.blogspot.com/2015/06/configure-stylecop-with-msbuild-to.html) – wenbingeng-MSFT Apr 21 '23 at 07:12

Please try the following steps:

  1. Create a new editorconfig File in your project

enter image description here

enter image description here

  1. Open the editorconfig File, find the perferred 'using' directive placemen in Code Style and adjust it to inside namespace

enter image description here

  1. Save the editorconfig File, and then you will put the using directive in the namespace when you create the class again.

enter image description here

Finally, you also need to refer to Should "using" directives be inside or outside a namespace in C#?. Because usually stylecop will not check the code outside the namespace

  • Is it better to use editorConfig than stylecop.json? – ASW Apr 26 '23 at 10:04

    @ASW As [FAQ for code analysis in Visual Studio](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/code-quality/analyzers-faq?view=vs-2022) said, in the EditorConfig file or text editor When you define code styles on the Visual Studio Options page, you are actually configuring the code analyzer built into Visual Studio. Editor configuration files can be used to enable or disable analyzer rules, and configure NuGet analyzer packages. – wenbingeng-MSFT Apr 27 '23 at 01:50

    Whereas the StyleCop analyzer is a third-party analyzer installed as a NuGet package to check style consistency in your code. In general, StyleCop rules allow you to set personal preferences for your codebase without recommending one style over another. So there is no good or bad, you should choose a more suitable for your needs – wenbingeng-MSFT Apr 27 '23 at 01:50
  • @wenbingend-MSFt Even if I configure these rules in the editor config, they are not enforced in my build. Is there a fix for that? – ASW May 05 '23 at 07:06

    @ASW If you are using EditorConfig to change the location of the using directive? After completing the above steps and saving the settings, it will only work when creating a new class – wenbingeng-MSFT May 05 '23 at 07:32
  • @wenbingend-MSFt Isn't there a way to enforce these rules on the existing code? – ASW May 08 '23 at 19:29
