How can I suppress this COM Generics warning?

Question

I am compiling a VB.Net 2.0 application (created in VS2008) using msbuild, and now I have added a generic return type, which gives me the following:

Warning: the type of the exporter library encountered an instance of a generic type in the signature. Generic code cannot be exported to COM.

Just spending years removing all previous warnings, I really don't want to add new ones. Any idea how to get rid of it (other than using generics)?

I don’t know what details I would put into the attribute, or what number to put on the ignore list at the project level.

Do you need to provide this COM library? If not, specify ComVisible (false)
