Best Practice Analyzer for ASP.NET

The ASP.NET Best Practice Analyzer (alpha release) is a tool that scans the configuration of an ASP.NET 2.0 application. The tool can scan against three mainline scenarios (hosted environment, production environment, or development environment) and identify problematic configuration settings in the machine.config or web.config files associated with your ASP.NET application.

This is an alpha release intended to gain feedback on the tool and the configuration rules included with it, so we look forward to your feedback and rules.
