What Really Worked
Resharper
- Disable ReSharper code analysis : ReSharper | Options | Code Inspection | Settings | Enable code analysis | Uncheck
-
Then analyze individual files on demand
with
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+AakaReSharper_InspectThis.
Visual Studio
- Create a copy of the solution (File > Save Solution As)
- Unload all projects from the copy .
-
Visual Studio will save these settings in the
.vsdirectory. -
Use that solution for most development tasks.
- Load projects in that solution as needed.
- Build/Run from the command line.
Other Helpful Things
Nuclear Option: ReSharper > Options > Code Inspection > Settings
- Uncheck Enable Code Analysis
-
Projects to Ignore > Add >
*.* -
Elements to skip > File masks > Add >
*.*
The ultimate step is to clear the Enable code analysis check box. This will disable the design-time inspection, but you will still be able to run code inspection in the desired scope when you need it.
