C# queries for CodeQL analysis

Explore the queries that CodeQL uses to analyze code written in C# when you select the default or the security-extended query suite.

Who can use this feature?

CodeQL is available for the following repository types:

CodeQL includes many queries for analyzing C# code. All queries in the default query suite are run by default. If you choose to use the security-extended query suite, additional queries are run. For more information, see "CodeQL query suites."

Built-in queries for C# analysis

This table lists the queries available with the latest release of the CodeQL action and CodeQL CLI. For more information, see CodeQL change logs in the CodeQL documentation site.

Note

The initial release of GitHub Enterprise Server 3.11 included CodeQL action and CodeQL CLI 2.14.6, which may not include all of these queries. Your site administrator can update your CodeQL version to a newer release. For more information, see "Configuring code scanning for your appliance."
