title: What StyleCop like tools are there for VB.NET
body: <p>see also <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/342456/vb-net-static-code-anaylsis">VB.NET Static Code Anaylsis</a></p>
  
  <p>For better or for worst we now have a <strong>VB.NET</strong> coding standards document that is based on a C# coding standard as enforced by StyleCop.  </p>
  
  <p>For example</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>the number of spaces you should put in each side of a “+” sign etc</li>
  <li>all instance Members (fields and methods!) must be access as “me.fieldName”</li>
  <li>all shared members must be accessed as “className.fieldName”</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>As I tend to think:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>If it’s in a requirements document it
    should be check for by an automatic
    system</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am looking for (ideally free) tools that will check for that short of rules on VB.NET code, as these are style issues that don’t make it into the compiled output, FxCop is not useful.  </p>
  
  <p>(I would personally match rather that we just check for important things like duplicated code and single reasonability for each class (so no more multi thousand line classes!), but as I need to keep to the coding standard document I wish to have a tool to help me do so.)</p>

  <p><strong>About the bounty.</strong><br>
  I am looking for a list of VB.NET code checking tools, with a short summery of what each tool can do and its limitations.   If the tools are not free, please include some ideal of cost.</p>

  <p>Does anyone have experience using <a href="http://www.devexpress.com/Products/Visual_Studio_Add-in/Refactoring/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CodeRush/Refactor</a>! or <a href="http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ReSharper</a> with VB.NET to check for this type of coding style issues?</p>
