Cause
A private or internal (assembly-level) member does not have callers in the assembly, is not invoked by the common language runtime, and the member is not invoked by a delegate. The following members are not checked by this rule:
Explicit interface members.
Static constructors.
Serialization constructors.
Methods marked with System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComRegisterFunctionAttribute or System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComUnregisterFunctionAttribute.
Members that are overrides.
Rule Description
This rule can report false positives if there are entry points that are not currently identified by the rule logic. Also, it is possible that a compiler can emit non-callable code into an assembly.
How to Fix Violations
To fix a violation of this rule, remove the non-callable code, or add code that calls it.
When to Exclude Warnings
It is safe to exclude a warning from this rule.
