I needed a trick to enable code analysis for all my projects. I know you can set the rules in the “Analyze/Configure Code Analysis for Solution” window but didn’t find a way to enable or disable the CA for all the projects in one action. So I created a macro to do this. The macro could also change your target framework if you like. That is nice when you upgrading your project from framework 3.5 to 4.
