You can suppress violations in your source code as follows:

As a directive: Use the #pragma warning disable directive to suppress a single issue locally. Read more: Pragmas.
As an attribute: Add a SuppressMessageAttribute attribute in your code. Read more: In-source suppression and the SuppressMessageAttribute attribute.
In a global suppression file: Create or supplement the GlobalSuppressions.cs file with the SuppressMessageAttribute attribute. This type of suppression works only for members and broader scopes. Read more: Suppress violations using a global suppression file.
