Messages

[wavering]

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.9.4

I suddenly have 76 messages telling me things like:

Names must begin with Capitals
Must use compound assignements

I do not recollect ever seeing any of this before so how do I stop being nagged without turning off something useful?

Thank you
Bob

Are you talking about messages in the Error List window, as opposed to errors and warnings? Can you provide actual examples of actual code and actual messages?

Yes as per here - the number of Messages seems to vary - a few minutes ago it was 76!!

VS2019 and forth (I guess since I don't have the bug bag 2022 installed) pop such indications. They might can be disable but I haven't checked. Anyhow they are just info, not even warnings so just ignore them if you like.

I usually ignore those unless it's a warning or error. Never thought about turning them off.

I noticed that there is a naming rule violation. If you go to Tools > Options and then select Text Editor > Visual Basic > Code Style > Naming you will see the various naming convention rules and how they are treated.

Removing those will likely eliminate most (if not all) of your "suggestions".

It looks like you ran the Code Analysis tool. The tool gives you a whole bunch of 'suggestions' based on a rule set, some of which DDay mentioned. I'm not sure that anybody uses ALL the code style rules that are applied, but most everybody uses at least some. You can turn off rules that you don't want...or you can turn off code analysis entirely, in which case you won't see any of them. Some of them are useful, though.

I don't know why but at least in 2019 it's:
Text Editor > Basic > Code Style > Naming

You can also override these settings by use of an .editorconfig file, https://editorconfig.org/ has more details. Recent versions of VS can generate these automatically for you from your VS configuration as well.
