How do I Exclude auto generated (DataSet) classes from code analysis

Question

The Code Analysis tool appears to be including auto generated code that was generated by a DataSet file (XSD).  Namely it comes back with a CA2240 Implement ISerializable correctly message.   The top of the auto generated file contains this header.

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// <auto-generated>

//     This code was generated by a tool.

//     Runtime Version:4.0.30319.18052

//

//     Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost if

//     the code is regenerated.

// </auto-generated>

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Steps to reproduce.

1. Create a new project (Class Library)
2. Add a new DataSet.  
3. Add a new table adapter to the dataset; I added a text query for  AdventureWorks2012.Person.Person
4. Set Code Analysis rule set in project properties to "Microsoft Managed Recommended Rules"
5. Run Code Analysis.

Expected:

                No Issues found

Actual:

                2 instances of

CA2240 Implement ISerializable correctly
Add an implementation of GetObjectData to type 'DataSet1'.

Answer 2

I appreciate the answer you attempted to give me.   But, it leaves out the fact that the check box intended to exclude generated code is misleading because it does not actually exclude generated code.  I will have to ignore all those warnings.

Answer 3

I have a similar issue. Have you resolved this issue or suppressed warnings. What could be consequences if we suppress this warnings ? I really don't want to mess with auto generated code to solve this issue
