Use unbound generic type (IDE0340)

#Overview

This rule flags places where the operand of a nameof expression is a bound generic type (for example, List<int>). The code fixer offers to convert the operand to an unbound type (for example, List<>).

#Options

Options specify the behavior that you want the rule to enforce. For information about configuring options, see Option format.

#csharp_style_prefer_unbound_generic_type_in_nameof

#Example

// Code with violations.
string name = nameof(List<int>);

// Fixed code.
string name = nameof(List<>);

#Suppress a warning

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 IDE0340
// The code that's violating the rule is on this line.
#pragma warning restore IDE0340

To disable the rule for a file, folder, or project, set its severity to none in the configuration file.

[*.{cs,vb}]
dotnet_diagnostic.IDE0340.severity = none

To disable all of the code-style rules, set the severity for the category Style to none in the configuration file.

[*.{cs,vb}]
dotnet_analyzer_diagnostic.category-Style.severity = none
