Q:

VS 2010 - Architecture Validation - Ignore Errors by Type?

Thanks to a set of extension methods in a common assembly, we see errors like this fairly often:

Error 1   AV0001 : Invalid Dependency : App.Common.SpecialList<>.ConvertTo<>(Method) --> App.DataLayer.Identifier(Type)
      Layers: Common, Data Layer   |   Dependencies: References Generic Parameter C:\Validation.layerdiagram  0   0   App.Modeling

It seems this is a common enough problem (see this post).
It is easy enough to suppress them one at a time, but fairly annoying.  Is there any way to suppress this "Dependencies: References Generic Parameter" error globally?  Or even better, to suppress it for calls going into a single layer?

A:

No, there's no way to do this directly in the box.
