Make analysis code stop warning about a specific variable name

Question

I have a variable called allowedZHs . ZH is an abbreviation for the domain. ZHs is its plural form. I would like to continue to use this plural form. I find it more expressive than the “regular” form of “ ZHs ”.
I tried to say Code Analysis by adding the Code Analysis Dictionary . This works fine for a single " ZH " form, but it does not work for a plural form.
I still get warning CA1704 .

I tried to add it as a recognized word and add it as an abbreviated paragraph:

 <Dictionary> <Words> <Recognized> <Word>ZHs</Word> </Recognized> </Words> <Acronyms> <CasingExceptions> <Acronym>ZHs</Acronym> </CasingExceptions> </Acronyms> </Dictionary> 

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

The bad news is that there is no way to use the dictionary to allow multiple abbreviations in older versions of FxCop. (See, for example, Kevin Blasco's answer at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/eu/vstscode/thread/56af1337-895d-47ec-ac72-71cf0316ea60. ). The good news is that the version that comes with VS 2012 allows them to be excluded from -the-box, so you don’t even have to touch the dictionary when you are eventually updated.
