Gendarme is a extensible rule-based tool to find problems in .NET applications and libraries. Gendarme inspects programs and libraries that contain code in ECMA CIL format (Mono and .NET) and looks for common problems with the code, problems that compiler do not typically check or have not historically checked.

I ran this tool against my IZWebFileManager. The result was 1213 potential defects using 254 rules!:

Mono is project I truly admire. Deploying a .NET WinForms application on non-Windows platform is really something I need. But can I really do that? One of the major incentives to move from the web to the desktop is to achieve a much better look and feel ( - I know, there are other very good reasons :-) )

In real life, we (almost) never build the GUI from scratch. We use control bundles, such as Telerik, Infragistics, etc. Otherwise we can spend ages refining our GUI, and the result will probably won't be as good.
