Do not deploy SharePoint assemblies

In some case Visual Studio or WSPBuilder include SharePoint assemblies into the package (e.g. Microsoft.Search.dll). This is not allowed.

CheckId SPC060204
TypeName DoNotDeploySharePointAssemblies
Severity CriticalError
Type Assembly

Remove the SharePoint assembly from the solution package.

The rule only checks the name of each assembly (starts the name with 'Microsoft.SharePoint' or 'Microsoft.Office'). It does not compare the assembly version or size. Because of this also non-Microsoft assemblies which start with 'Microsoft.SharePoint' will be detected as errors.

To suppress this violation in managed code add the following attribute to the method which contains the instruction (available since SPCAF version v5.2). Learn more about SuppressMessage here.

// Important: Ensure to have #define CODE_ANALYSIS at the beginning of your .cs file
