How to get rid of Naming rule violation messages in Visual Studio?

Question

I just installed Visual Studio 2017. When I open an existing website, I get all sorts of warning messages such as this one:

IDE1006 Naming rule violat

Answer 1

You could rename the method and add the name to the attribute with the EntryPoint property.

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("swedll32.dll", EntryPoint = "swe_calc")]
public static extern Int32 SweCalc(double tjd, int ipl, Int32 iflag, IntPtr xx, IntPtr serr);

Answer 2

This can be done using normal VS2017 & VS2019 using the .editorconfig settings file, using the naming rules: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/editorconfig-code-style-settings-reference

The file can be created by hand, or in VS2019 you can get Visual Studio to create it for your from your preferences (i.e. after following configuring your prefs as in https://stackoverflow.com/a/41131563/131701 ), by hitting the generate editor config file from settings button.

For example, the following sets of rules will enable camelCase for all non public methods, and keep the other default naming rules that comes with VS.

What this rule asserts is that fields must be private.

You can convert it to a Property by adding the {get;set;} after the field.

This removed the error for me.
