Permanent warning in a generated module class

Mikhail Dervel asked on February 14, 2020 10:41

Hi! We have a custom module with classes and all of them have warning directive in a generated code above TYPEINFO definition :

#warning "You will need to configure the type info."

I guess it's like a pointer to a place where you can specify your own properties for that custom class, but how can I disable generating of this warning?

module class generate

What it says is that you have to configure your TypeInfo for import/export operations. If you are not planning to do import/export your classes you can just ignore that. See the documentation

There doesn't appear to be a way to prevent the code generator from including the warning.

Intellisense should help you suppress the warning with a #pragma warning directive, but in case it doesn't, here's what it looks like to add the directive manually:

    #pragma warning disable CS1030 // #warning directive
    #warning "You will need to configure the type info."
    public static readonly ObjectTypeInfo TYPEINFO = new ObjectTypeInfo(yada yada yada)
    #pragma warning restore CS1030 // #warning directive
    {
        ModuleName = "whatevs",
        TouchCacheDependencies = true,
    };

Do not delete, you may try to comment it and give explanation and link in the comment.But it might not work. If you don't really want to have warning - I'd day - configure it! It is not so complicated as it might seem. Follow the example and you ll be fine.

It's not that big of a deal. Delete the comment line and move on. It's there to simply tell you to configure the TypeInfo from the automaticaly generated class code.

Unfortunately, the base template for the classes is baked into the source code of Kentico so unless you have a sourcecode license, you won't see or be able to edit that template.
