ROSLYN.DESIGN.CA1017 : Mark assemblies with ComVisible (C#)

See Roslyn-Detected C# Warning Classes for more information.

Summary

ComVisibleAttribute determines how COM clients access managed code. Good design dictates that assemblies explicitly indicate COM visibility. COM visibility can be set for the whole assembly and then overridden for individual types and type members. If this attribute is not present, the contents of the assembly are visible to COM clients.

This check corresponds to Roslyn rule CA1017. For full rule details, see the Microsoft website: CA1017.
