How to disable warnings in Visual Studio for a Visual Basic Web Deployment Project

Question

For our VB.NET websites we use SVN for Source Control and CruiseControl.NET for continuous integration.

To use the SVN build number in the compilation by CruiseCont

Answer 1

Had a very similar situation with an old VB web project, and we did not want to add the #pragma blocks all over the code calls. For some reason, adding the lines to the fields did not make Visual Studio builds ignore/suppress the warnings.

However, I found a different approach. By adding this in the .vbproj file after the area ignored the obsolete warnings in VS 2017: 612;618

Common MSBuild project properties Description of configuration setting:

DisabledWarnings Suppresses the specified warnings. Only the numeric part of the warning identifier must be specified. Multiple warnings are separated by semicolons. This parameter corresponds to the /nowarn switch of the vbc.exe compiler.
