How to make Visual Studio wait for me to compile before complaining about declared but never used variables

Question

How to make Visual Studio wait for me to compile before complaining about declared but never used variables?

CS0168 The variable '_' is declared but never used

Yes Visual Studio, ofcourse it's not used, I'm still writing the code, stop distracting me.

Note, I do not want to disable the feature entirely, I just want to make it shut up for a second and not start underlining my variables before I've compiled the source.

In essence, I want to make the "check-as-you-type" feature not as dynamic but only for this error.

(I'm using Visual Studio Community 2017, if this makes any difference)

Answer 1

That is explained in How to: Suppress Compiler Warnings:

To suppress specific warnings for Visual C# or F# In Solution Explorer, choose the project in which you want to suppress warnings.

On the menu bar, choose View, Property Pages.

Choose the Build page.

In the Suppress warnings box, specify the error codes of the warnings that you want to suppress, separated by semicolons, and then rebuild the solution.

Answer 2

What you are looking for called "Suppress Warnings", literally to tell those warnings to 'shut the hell up'.

• Right-click on your desired project.
• Choose "Properties" or Alt + Enter (usually located on the bottom.)
• Choose Build tab.
• In "Suppress warnings", type in ;0168 (as 0168 is your error code, and ";" is used to separate the codes)
• Save
• Enjoy!
