Tips & Tricks: StyleCop copyright issue.
Today I've started using StyleCop in my open source project. With the help of style cop you can configure copyright text, which should be added to each file. Also ReSharper plugin for StyleCop will automatically add this header after clean up. But there is a little problem with setting up copyright text if it is not a single line. With style cop setting manager u can use only single line textbox to manage copyright text. So, I strongly recommend u to use text xml editor for this purpose.
