Unable to find Visual Studio warning code

Question

I need to suppress following warning in Visual Studio 2012:

A custom tool 'AutoRunCustomTool' is associated with file '', but the output of the custom tool was not found in the project. You may try re-running the custom tool by right-clicking on the file in the Solution Explorer and choosing Run Custom Tool.

The problem is that I can't find the code associated with that warning anywhere in the Web hence I am unable to suppress it in my project. Is there any way to find what the code is?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

This appears to come from the AutoRunCustomTool in the Visual Studio gallery. There should be a "Run custom tool" property on each item in the project, changing the properties for the relevant file, or even uninstalling the AutoRunCustomTool should work. I note that the version 2.0.1 is dated 11/11/2013 and so is quite recent.

The error message quoted includes file '', but and so appears to have no file listed between the single primes.
