.NET Framework Class Library
SuppressMessageAttribute Class

Suppresses reporting of a specific static analysis tool rule violation, allowing multiple suppressions on a single code artifact.

Namespace:  System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
<AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.All, Inherited := False, AllowMultiple := True)> _
<ConditionalAttribute("CODE_ANALYSIS")> _
Public NotInheritable Class SuppressMessageAttribute _
    Inherits Attribute
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As SuppressMessageAttribute
C#
[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.All, Inherited = false, AllowMultiple = true)]
[ConditionalAttribute("CODE_ANALYSIS")]
public sealed class SuppressMessageAttribute : Attribute
Visual C++
[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets::All, Inherited = false, AllowMultiple = true)]
[ConditionalAttribute(L"CODE_ANALYSIS")]
public ref class SuppressMessageAttribute sealed : public Attribute
JScript
public final class SuppressMessageAttribute extends Attribute

This attribute can be applied to any application element.

NoteNote:

The ConditionalAttribute is applied to this class, specifying the preprocessing symbol "CODE_ANALYSIS" as the conditional symbol that determines whether the attribute call is included or omitted. If the symbol is defined, the attribute call is included; otherwise, the call is omitted.

The following code example shows the use of the SuppressMessageAttribute attribute to suppress performance warning messages.

Visual Basic
#Const CODE_ANALYSIS = True
Imports System
Imports System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis



Class Library

    <SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Performance", "CA1801:ReviewUnusedParameters", MessageId:="isChecked"), _
     SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Performance", "CA1804:RemoveUnusedLocals", MessageId:="fileIdentifier")> _
    Shared Sub FileNode(ByVal name As String, ByVal isChecked As Boolean)
        Dim fileIdentifier As String = name
        Dim fileName As String = name
        Dim version As String = String.Empty

    End Sub 'FileNode
End Class 'Library 

C#
#define CODE_ANALYSIS
using System;
using System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis;

namespace CodeAnalysisSample
{
    class Library
    {
        [SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Performance", "CA1801:ReviewUnusedParameters", MessageId = "isChecked")]
        [SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Performance", "CA1804:RemoveUnusedLocals", MessageId = "fileIdentifier")]
        static void FileNode(string name, bool isChecked)
        {
            string fileIdentifier = name;
            string fileName = name;
            string version = String.Empty;
        }

    }
}
