Exclude files or folder from running through the analyzers through a configuration file.

[mantzas]

Hi,

we have a lot of generated files that trigger warnings, errors when analyzers run them.
since the file name of the generated files do not follow the common naming conventions for generated code roslyn fires the analyzers away. As a result there are ten of thousands of warnings in the solution.
Could we get a exclude file from analyzing logic that:

• Exclude a file by adding it to a exclusion list
• Exclude a file by adding it to a exclusion list
• Annotate classes with a special Attribute that exclude the class
• exclude certain file name extensions ( like js files generated by typescript)
• Combination of the above like exclude all js files that live under the folder x including all sub folders

Most of the rules come straight from Resharper's exclusion file manager

Thanks

See #5162. The author of that issue (@vbfox) has some feedback on the solutions proposed above.

This issue is really annoying, it prevents people from using these analyzers on WPF projects. I thought I'll add a vot to this and mention that it took me a while to get find this place, so please don't consider this something that nobody cares about. I can tell you that more than half of my team is bothered by this problem
