How to exclude viewmodel properties from CA1811

Question

Using VS 2010 / .Net 4.0, a CA1811 code analysis warning (see below) is triggered in all properties in the ViewModel, even if they are used with XAML binding:

Warning CA1811: Microsoft.Performance: "BackupWindowViewModel.BackupCommand.get ()" does not seem to have open or protected callers.

public ICommand BackupCommand { get { return _backupCommand; } } <--- CA1811 <Button Content="Backup" Command="{Binding BackupCommand}" /> 

This is because Code Analysis (currently) does not parse XAML. My question is, is there a way to exclude all properties in all ViewModels (e.g. classes derived from ViewModelBase) from CA1811? To suppress this warning for each individual property is a huge pain.

Answer 1

• Open the Properties project.
• Go to the Create property page.
• In the Errors and Warnings section, change the Suppress warnings : /nowarn:1811 property
