StyleCop in VS2015

In previous versions of Visual Studio, StyleCop was an msi installation of a VS extension and a global settings file was used to configure the application (StyleCop.settings). In VS2015, with Roslyn and Code Analysis, StyleCop comes as a NuGet package "StyleCop.Analyzers" and it requires two files to configure it (I recommend saving these two files to a common folder and adding the linked files from there in each project). Therefore, in each project:

• The first step is to install the StyleCop.Analyzers package into the desired projects (or entire solution) using NuGet.
• File 1: MyRuleset.ruleset - Contains your specific rule customizations
• File 2: stylecop.json - Configures the StyleCop analyzers process
• Goto Project > Properties > Code Analysis.. Change the "Rule Set" to "My Ruleset" (for all build configs)
• Edit the .csproj file, change the item entry from "None/Content" to "AdditionalFiles" e.g.

  
  <AdditionalFiles Include="..\SharedFolder\SyleCop.Analyzers-VS2015\stylecop.json">
       <Link>stylecop.json</Link>
  </AdditionalFiles>
  

Example contents of the files: MyRuleset.ruleset
