Background Analysis

CodeRush allows you to integrate the CodeRush Diagnostics into Visual Studio to analyze code on the fly.

You can include CodeRush diagnostics in Visual Studio’s background analysis to analyze your code out of process for Visual Studio 2019 v16.8 and later.

Note

Background Analysis is a resource-demanding feature. Use it with caution on large solutions.

To see code issues in Visual Studio’s Error List, perform the following actions:

Open the “Code Issues Catalog” Options Page

In Visual Studio, open the CodeRush menu and choose the Code Analysis | Configure… menu item to invoke the Code Issues Catalog options page.

Note

Enable the “Register in VS” Option

Check the Register in VS check boxes for the required analyzers.
