When I run StyleCop, I got this error message saying that I need to Mark the dll with CLSCompliant(true).

What is this? How can I set the Mark the dll with CLSCompliant(true)?

Error   4   CA1014 : Microsoft.Design : 
Mark 'SOMETHING.dll' with CLSCompliant(true) because it exposes externally 
                     visible types. ModelsimCommunicator

To mark the DLL as CLS compliant do the following in the root namespace. 

[assembly: CLSCompliant(true)]

Note: This error is coming from FxCop not StyleCop. FxCop errors are prefixed with CA while StyleCop uses the SA prefix

    Are you sure it's *in* the root namespace, because Microsoft says have it *before* the namespace.

    try adding this to AssemblyInfo.cs – hnafar Jun 30 '15 at 17:41
  • The CA rules are also part of the Code Analysis run when you enable CA for a project. – Patrick Peters Oct 10 '16 at 09:38
