VS 2013 Run StyleCop Option

I have enabled StyleCop in VS2013 using following steps

  1. Installed StyleCop with command install-package stylecop.msbuild

  2. Updated below lines in .csproj file

    a. <Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" /> <Import Project="$(ProgramFiles)\MSBuild\StyleCop\v4.7\StyleCop.targets" />

    b. <StyleCopTreatErrorsAsWarnings>false</StyleCopTreatErrorsAsWarnings> in first <PropertyGroup> of the .csproj file.

  3. Copy Settings.StyleCop in the project solution folder from C:\Program Files\StyleCop 4.7 on solution root folder or add as a solution item.
  4. Double click the Settings.StyleCop file as configure the rules. You should be able to use the stylecops in your project.

When I build the application, StyleCop functionality is working as expected. But when I right click on any project I don't see the option "Run StyleCop" or "Run StyleCop (Rescan All).

Can anybody help me on this ?

The nuget package StyleCop.MSBuild simplifies the adding of the properties to a csproj required to run StyleCop as part of the build. It also references a StyleCop instance inside /packages/ which means that it is downloaded from sourcecontrol and each developer does not need StyleCop installed.

To get the context menus, you need to install StyleCop on your local machine.
