Code Analyzer for C#

There is a newer version: 10.2.0.105762

Why is this an issue?
Fields and auto-properties that are never assigned to hold the default values for their types. They are either pointless code or, more likely,
mistakes.
Noncompliant code example
class MyClass
{
  private int field; // Noncompliant, shouldn't it be initialized? This way the value is always default(int), 0.
  private int Property { get; set; }  // Noncompliant
  public void Print()
  {
    Console.WriteLine(field); //Will always print 0
    Console.WriteLine(Property); //Will always print 0
  }
}

Compliant solution
class MyClass
{
  private int field = 1;
  private int Property { get; set; } = 42;
  public void Print()
  {
    field++;
    Console.WriteLine(field);
    Console.WriteLine(Property);
  }
}

Exceptions

   Fields on types decorated with System.SerializableAttribute attribute.
