ProjectTool & visual studio: Treat Specific Warnings As Errors

BruceC

Is there a way to specify the Visual Studio option below in projectdefinition.txt? Thanks!

Configuration Properties-> C/C++->Advanced->Treat Specific Warnings As Errors

Hey @BruceC,

Thank you for reaching out to us. No, that is not possible, at least not in a directly intended way. What you can do, is go into /frameworks/settings/MSVCBase.props and change your error and warning handling there. But you would have to apply that to every project tool / Extended SDK you use.

The content of the file is used to generate the projects:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <ImportGroup Label="PropertySheets">
    <Import Project="Base.props" />
  </ImportGroup>
  <PropertyGroup Label="UserMacros" />
  <PropertyGroup />
  <ItemDefinitionGroup>
    <ClCompile>
      <WarningLevel>EnableAllWarnings</WarningLevel>
      <DisableSpecificWarnings>4003;4061;4062;4100;4127;4131;4191;4200;4244;4265;4266;4296;4307;
