*In source suppression allows the exclusion of FxCop messages to be expressed in source by applying the System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute to the relevant source item. Alternatively the attribute can be applied at the assembly level, specifying the target and scope of the suppression.
To obtain a well-formed SuppressMessageAttribute in FxCop, simply right-click on the message and choose Copy As -> SuppressMessage or Copy As -> Module-level SuppressMessage.
For more information about in-source suppression, see In Source Suppression Overview.
