Suppresses the compiler's ability to generate warnings.

Syntax

-nowarn[:numberList]

Arguments

Term Definition
numberList Optional. Comma-delimited list of the warning ID numbers that the compiler should suppress. If the warning IDs are not specified, all warnings are suppressed.

Remarks

The -nowarn option causes the compiler to not generate warnings. To suppress an individual warning, supply the warning ID to the -nowarn option following the colon. Separate multiple warning numbers with commas.

You need to specify only the numeric part of the warning identifier. For example, if you want to suppress BC42024, the warning for unused local variables, specify -nowarn:42024.

For more information on the warning ID numbers, see Configuring Warnings in Visual Basic.

To set -nowarn in the Visual Studio integrated development environment
1. Have a project selected in Solution Explorer. On the Project menu, click Properties.
2. Click the Compile tab.
3. Select the Disable all warnings check box to disable all warnings.
- or -
To disable a particular warning, click None from the drop-down list adjacent to the warning.

vbc -nowarn t2.vb

Example 2

The following code compiles T2.vb and does not display the warnings for unused local variables (42024).
