Remove unreachable code (IDE0035)
Property | Value |
---|---|
Rule ID | IDE0035 |
Title | Remove unreachable code |
Category | Style |
Subcategory | Unnecessary code rules (expression-level preferences) |
Applicable languages | C# and Visual Basic |
Overview
This rule flags executable code within methods and properties that can never be reached, and hence can be removed.
Note
Even if you enable code style rules on build, this rule is not enabled. It only surfaces in the Visual Studio editor.
Options
This rule has no associated code-style options.
Example
// Code with violations
void M()
{
throw new System.Exception();
// IDE0035: Remove unreachable code
int v = 0;
}
// Fixed code
void M()
{
throw new System.Exception();
}
Suppress a warning
If you want to suppress only a single violation, add preprocessor directives to your source file to disable and then re-enable the rule.
#pragma warning disable IDE0035
// The code that's violating the rule is on this line.
#pragma warning restore IDE0035
To disable the rule for a file, folder, or project, set its severity to none
in the configuration file.
[*.{cs,vb}]
dotnet_diagnostic.IDE0035.severity = none
To disable all of the code-style rules, set the severity for the category Style
to none
in the configuration file.
[*.{cs,vb}]
dotnet_analyzer_diagnostic.category-Style.severity = none
