Just got my first Roslyn Analyzer working! 😁

Still soooo many things to do, but I can see some awesomeness coming :D

After experimenting with #roslyn analyzers for four days now I collected some possible useful information which I will post in this thread now as it is the easiest (publicly accessible) storage.
