Now your enviroment has ready to use SPDisposeCheck

The SPDisposeCheck tool only check assemblies or exe files, you must verify your output type.

In your project go to "Built Events" and add the following command line:

___________________________________________________
SPDisposeCheck "$(TargetPath)" -debug > c:\logs\CheckDisposeLog.txt

___________________________________________________

"$(TargetPath)" -> "c:\...\...\...\...\...\project\bin\(debug/release)\projectname.exe"

or
"$(TargetPath)" -> "c:\...\...\...\...\...\project\bin\(debug/release)\projectname.dll"
