Hi Rafael,

Thanks for the suggestion, the problem with FxCop is that it checks the
code, but I cannot use it as automated tool to test .NET implementation of
web services, so I cannot use it to verify how the application will behave
when I will change schemas or I will sign bad element or when I will not
provide valid SAML assertion.

Cheers,

Pak76
