Question

Thanks to a set of extension methods in a common assembly, we see errors like this fairly often:

Error 1 AV0001 : Invalid Dependency : App.Common.SpecialList<>.ConvertTo<>(Method) –> App.DataLayer.Identifier(Type)
Layers: Common, Data Layer | Dependencies: References Generic Parameter C:\Validation.layerdiagram 0 0 App.Modeling

It seems this is a common enough problem (see this post).

It is easy enough to suppress them one at a time, but fairly annoying. Is there any way to suppress this “Dependencies: References Generic Parameter” error globally? Or even better, to suppress it for calls going into a single layer?

Answer 1

No, there’s no way to do this directly in the box.
