/warn (Specify Warning Level)
Visual Studio .NET 2003
/warn:option
where:
- option
- The minimum warning level you want displayed for the build. Valid values are 0-4:
Warning level Meaning 0 Turns off emission of all warning messages. 1 Displays severe warning messages. 2 Displays level 1 warnings plus certain, less-severe warnings, such as warnings about hiding class members. 3 Displays level 2 warnings plus certain, less-severe warnings, such as warnings about expressions that always evaluate to true or false. 4 Displays all level 3 warnings plus informational warnings. This is the default warning level at the command line.
Remarks
The /warn option specifies the warning level for the compiler to display.
The Build Errors documentation describes the warnings, indicates each warning's level, and indicates potential problems (rather than actual coding errors) with statements that may not compile as you intend.
Use /warnaserror to treat all warnings as errors. Use /nowarn to disable certain warnings.
/w is the short form of /warn.
