When I run StyleCop, I got this error message saying that I need to Mark the dll with CLSCompliant(true).

What is this? How can I set the Mark the dll with CLSCompliant(true)?

Error   4   CA1014 : Microsoft.Design :

                     visible types. ModelsimCommunicator

To mark the DLL as CLS compliant do the following in the root namespace. 

[assembly: CLSCompliant(true)]

Note: This error is coming from FxCop not StyleCop. FxCop errors are prefixed with CA while StyleCop uses the SA prefix
