Example

// Code with violations.
Action<int> a = (int x) => { };
Delegate b = (Action<int>)( (int x) => { } );

// Fixed code.
Action<int> a = x => { };
Delegate b = (Action<int>)( x => { } );

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 IDE0350
// The code that's violating the rule is on this line.
#pragma warning restore IDE0350

To disable the rule for a file, folder, or project, set its severity to none in the configuration file.

[*.{cs,vb}]
dotnet_diagnostic.IDE0350.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
