How to suppress warning for all derived types?

Question

I have an ITemplate interface in my project. All interfaces derived from it have names that do not start with I. This causes the InconsistentNaming warning to appear.

I want to suppress this warning for all interfaces derived from the ITemplate interface.

I know about SuppressMessage attribute, but it does not suppress warnings on the derived types. I tried to play around with Scope property of this attribute, but unfortunately nothing changed.

Basically, I want to do something like this:

[SuppressMessage("ReSharper", "InconsistentNaming", Target = Targets.Inheritors)]
public interface ITemplate;

Answer 1

There is no way to suppress the Inconsistent Naming warning only for types deriving from a specific interface. There are a couple of other options.

pragma IDE1006

Use the pragma directive to suppress the warning within in an entire file. Place the following at the top of the file:

#pragma warning disable IDE1006 // Inconsistent naming

To re-enable the warning anywhere else in the file, add the following just above where the warning should be re-enabled:

#pragma warning restore IDE1006 // Inconsistent naming

.csproj NoWarn

To suppress the warning for an entire project, use the NoWarn property. Open up the .csproj in question and add the following:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <!-- Other properties -->
    <NoWarn>$(NoWarn);IDE1006</NoWarn>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <!-- Other project settings -->

</Project>
