I've just started to use NArrange, and I love it, but I was wondering if it is possible to order the using statements according to the SyleCop rules when it comes to using alias directires.

Hi there,

Would it be possible to post code samples of the NArrange result and what StyleCop is expecting in this scenario?

Thanks,

Sure thing:

Before NArrange:

namespace Dragon.Library
{
    using System;
    using System.Collections.ObjectModel;

    using LookupDictoinary = System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, string>;

    public static class DDIDecoder
    {
        private static LookupDictoinary compendiumLookups;

        static DDIDecoder()
        {
            DDIDecoder.compendiumLookups = new LookupDictoinary();
        }
    }
}

After NArrange:

namespace Dragon.Library
{
    using System;
    using LookupDictoinary = System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, string>;
    using System.Collections.ObjectModel;

    public static class DDIDecoder
    {
        private static LookupDictoinary compendiumLookups;

        static DDIDecoder()
        {
            DDIDecoder.compendiumLookups = new LookupDictoinary();
        }
}

StyleCop error:

SA1209: Using alias directives must be placed after all using namespace directives.

Cato,

Thank you for posting the code sample.  I've filed Bug 2876867 for tracking this issue.

NArrange 0.2.9 has been released.  It changes the sort behavior for alias using directives to conform to StyleCop rules SA1209 and SA1211.
