How to configure Visual Studio not to analyse code in a specific file

Question

Is it possible to tell Visual Studio to not analyze a specific file? In this case, GlobalSuppressions.cs. I can't find any setting for it in options.

I'm also trying to avoid messing up my code with suppress statements, so I want to keep GlobalSuppressions.cs, but not analyze it.

You can add the following to your root level .editorconfig file:

[yourfile.cs]
# Disable analyzers for a specific file
dotnet_diagnostic.CAxxxx.severity = none

CAxxxx should be replaced with a specific code analyzer rule you want to disable. In your case set it to none for disabling all analyzers on the file.

Hope this helps!

🤞🏼

You can use preprocessor directives:

#pragma warning disable IDE0076
CSharpCodeProducingTheWarnings();
#pragma warning restore IDE0076

You can specify a comma delimited list of warnings if you want to suppress more than one warning.

You can also omit the #pragma warning restore to make the suppression active until the end of the file.
