Global suppression for entire solution (C#)

Question

Does any one of you know a way I'd be able to suppress e.g. CA2000 for an entire solution?

I'm thinking of something like a GlobalSuppressions class with the following line of code:

[assembly: SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Reliability", "CA2000:DisposeObjectsBeforeLosingScope")]

Thanks for your help in advance.

Global Suppressions can be configured in .editorconfig file.

1. Create a file called .editorconfig in the root folder of your solution
2. Open in a text editor
3. Add root = true in first line
4. Below that line add the rules to disable

   [*.{cs,vb}]
   dotnet_diagnostic.<Rule_Code>.severity=silent
   

Here is an example .editorconfig file

root = true

[*.{cs,vb}]
dotnet_diagnostic.CA2000.severity=silent

[*.{cs,vb}]
dotnet_diagnostic.MA0004.severity=silent    # Even works with 3rd part rules/analyser
