How to hide Intellisense "based on recent edits" suggestions?

Question

What the title says.

I don't mind them being in the "Error List" because they're only marked as "Messages" so they can easily be filtered, but I'd like to hide the dots in the code.

Answer 1

To turn off the "Based on recent edits" stuff, go to turn off IntelliCode suggestions .

Per the docs:

If you wish to turn it off, choose Tools > Options, IntelliCode General tab, and then switch C# suggestions to Disabled

This will turn off "Based on Recent edits" while still leaving on the other stuff like code styles/autocomplete/etc.

How to hide Intellisense “based on recent edits” suggestions?

If you want to hide such suggestion in Intellisense(show as a dot ), you should add this below on the top of every cs file:

#pragma warning disable xxx(suggestion ID)

Or use #pragma warning disable to disable every suggestion.

For an example, I have make a similar sample:

================================================================

And usually to remove that Intellisense Suggestion, you should enter Tools --> Options --> Text Editor --> C# --> Code Style and then find such suggestion message and change its Severity from Suggestion to Refactoring Only . With this, you could remove such Suggestion on Code Editor .

Since I did not know your specific suggestion message(based on recent edits) and the ID and also not sure whether such suggestion are in the Code Style menu, so I suggest you could try my first solution.

Note that: So far, no matter which way you suppress the suggestion, removing dot in the Code Editor will also remove the message in the Error List . They are unified, you cannot suppress the IntelliSense in the Code Editor and save the message in the Error List .

Besides, if you still want this,you could suggest a feature on our User Voice Forum .
