A private or internal (assembly-level) member does not have callers in the assembly, is not invoked by the common language runtime, and is not invoked by a delegate. The following members are not checked by this rule:
Explicit interface members.
Static constructors.
Serialization constructors.
Methods marked with System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComRegisterFunctionAttribute or System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComUnregisterFunctionAttribute.
Members that are overrides.
This rule can report false positives if entry points occur that are not currently identified by the rule logic. Also, a compiler may emit noncallable code into an assembly.
To fix a violation of this rule, remove the noncallable code or add code that calls it.
It is safe to suppress a warning from this rule.
