Now this qualifies as a great idea – integrating the code layout enforcement of StyleCop with the dynamic at-your-fingertips goodness of ReSharper: StyleCop for ReSharper.

Definitely something to download and try out, especially since they’ve got automatic fixes for many of the rule violations.

Clarification (before someone accuses me of having my priorities messed up): Clean code isn’t a worthy goal in its own right – Maintainable code is. StyleCop is just one tool assist with achieving the goal maintainability – StyleCop is useful, but not sufficient.
