Any alternatives for code analysis in .net apart from FxCop?

I was wondering if there are any alternatives for code analysis. I suppose one can create a code analyser from scratch though this is a tedious work and I am not sure it worths it after all. Is there other, non .net specific, analysers? Thanks, Sun

FxCop: CA1033 - Microsoft's implementation of a ReadOnlyCollection violates this?

If you look at the code for a read-only collection it does not have an "Add" method, but instead defines the ICollection.Add(T Value) method (explicit interface implementation). When I did something similar with my ReadOnlyDictionary class, FxCop…
