How to suppress a StyleCop warning?

Question

I'm using StyleCop and want to suppress some warning which does not suit my style. I prefer to have solution for

1) in-line code suppressing
2) global setting suppressing

I've searched the internet but still not sure how to do the suppressing.

For method 1), They said to add the lines:

[assembly: SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Design", "SA1202:All private methods must be placed after all public methods", Scope = "namespace", Target = "Consus.Client.ClientVaultModule.Services.OnlineDetection")]

But they do not say where and which namespace to be used.

For method 2), they said to use GlobalSuppress file but it seems not easy to search for a how-to do it at the moment.

Please help.

[Edited] In my case, I have the warning about SA1202: All private methods must be placed after all public methods which is bothering since I group my related codes into regions. I want to suppress those warning for just some certain methods.

Answer 1

Here's what you need:

[SuppressMessage("Microsoft.StyleCop.CSharp.OrderingRules", "SA1202:ElementsMustBeOrderedByAccess")] 

Answer 2

An example of inline suppression would be similar to this - examine the namespaces in the code compared to the suppression

namespace Soapi {         ///<summary>         ///</summary>         ///<param name = "message"></param>         ///<param name = "statusCode"></param>         ///<param name = "innerException"></param>         [System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Globalization", "CA1305:SpecifyIFormatProvider", MessageId = "System.String.Format(System.String,System.Object,System.Object)")]         public ApiException(string message, ErrorCode statusCode, Exception innerException)             : base(String.Format("{0}\r\nStatusCode:{1}", message, statusCode), innerException)         {             this.statusCode = statusCode;         } 

A global supression file is a file in the root of your project named GlobalSuppressions.cs and might look like this:

// This file is used by Code Analysis to maintain SuppressMessage  // attributes that are applied to this project.  // Project-level suppressions either have no target or are given  // a specific target and scoped to a namespace, type, member, etc.  // // To add a suppression to this file, right-click the message in the  // Error List, point to "Suppress Message(s)", and click  // "In Project Suppression File".  // You do not need to add suppressions to this file manually.   [assembly: System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Globalization", "CA1305:SpecifyIFormatProvider", MessageId = "System.String.Format(System.String,System.Object,System.Object,System.Object)", Scope = "member", Target = "Soapi.ApiException.#.ctor(System.String,Soapi.ErrorCode,System.String,System.Exception)")] 

And you can generate this code automatically by right-clicking on the warning.
