FxCop giving a warning on private constructor CA1823 and CA1053
- by Luis Sánchez
I have a class that looks like the following:
Public Class Utilities
Public Shared Function blah(userCode As String) As String
'doing some stuff
End Function
End Class
I'm running FxCop 10 on it and it says:
"Because type 'Utilities' contains only 'static' (
'Shared' in Visual Basic) members, add a default private
constructor to prevent the compiler from adding a default
public constructor."
Ok, you're right Mr. FxCop, I'll add a private constructor:
Private Utilities()
Now I'm having:
"It appears that field 'Utilities.Utilities' is
never used or is only ever assigned to. Use this field
or remove it."
Any ideas of what should I do to get rid of both warnings?
