I am using DataVisualization.Charting.Chart extensively, and for the most part it is working. However, I’ve been running Code Analysis frequently, and have all my own warnings taken care of. But, there are about 30 CA2000 (object not disposed along all exception paths) in the *.Designer.cs files that use the charting. The Designer files are generating pretty much all the charting code, and almost all the charting elements implement IDisposable. I have “Suppress results from generated code” checked in the project preferences, but it still does it.
Is there any way to fix this, without having to manually create the chart objects, and without disabling Code Analysis for the rest of the code in that class? Is there a way to disable it for all .Designer.cs files? Or, is there a solution to remove these warnings correctly by making the designer code take care of disposal?
A fair few developers appear to have encountered this without a luck, so +1 for a good question!
A possible solution is to write a method that override’s CA2000 and suppresses the rule if the warning is detected in a designer file, here’s a good start:
