How to use FxCop CustomDictionary.xml from the project localization?

Question

I create an custom FxCop rule, that need the the path to CustomDictionary.xml, but not this in Program Files, but that used in my FxCop project file. I has tryed to use reflection to Assembly.GetEntryAssembly() and diagnostic to Process.GetCurrentProcess() but no result. Where should i search such information?

Answer 1

Do you really want to access that particular file, or would you simply like to take advantage of the cumulative dictionary contents (as do the Microsoft-provided FxCop rules)? If the latter, you can use the public Microsoft.FxCop.Sdk.NamingService class, which takes care of all the messy dictionary file reading details for you.
