By default, all the managed projects of a solution are assigned the Microsoft Minimum Recommended Rules code analysis rule set. You can change the rule sets that are assigned to the projects of a solution in the properties dialog box for the solution.

Note

By default, project code analysis is not run as a build step. To enable code analysis as a build step, see How to: Configure Code Analysis for a Managed Code Project.
