If you want to suppress only a single violation, add preprocessor directives to your source file to disable and then re-enable the rule.
#pragma warning disable IDE0075
// The code that's violating the rule is on this line.
#pragma warning restore IDE0075To disable the rule for a file, folder, or project, set its severity to none in the configuration file.
