VB Coding Standards Rulebase (Sample.law)

Paper coding standards are not enough!
Paper coding standards soon become worthless if they cannot be enforced and the time and effort spent creating them is lost. VB Law automates reviews for coding standards compliance adding considerable value to the time already invested in coding standards creation.

Need a fast start with Visual Basic coding standards?
To offer a fast start to Visual Basic law enforcement, VB Law is accompanied by a VB coding standards rulebase (Sample.law) containing over 200 rules written by professional Visual Basic programmers.

The sample VB coding standards rulebase serves to demonstrate the capabilities of VB Law and show examples of how various types of rules can be implemented to detect Visual Basic coding standards violations. We're sure you'll find many of these rules useful. Using VB Law Administrator you can easily create new rules, amend existing rules or disable rules that aren't appropriate to your organisation.

The rules in the VB coding standards rulebase are divided into the following categories:

Rule Categories

ActiveX Components Binary Compatibility Code Complexity Code Layout Comments Compilation Options Constant Declarations Dead Code Declare Statements Enum Declarations Error Handling File Access

Form Design Operator Usage Performance Procedure Declarations Project Properties Source Files Standard EXE Components Unauthorised Keywords User-defined Types Variable Declarations Windows API
