Modifying Ignored Issues

To show and modify issues that have been ignored, the Manage Ignored Issues command can be used. This will open the Ignored Analysis Issue window. This window allows issues to be removed from the list of ignored issues, which will include them in the memory analysis again. It also provides the possibility to change the location of the ignored issues, e.g. change Session to Default ignored issues.

The main part of this window is a table containing the ignored issues. The actual ignored issues included depend on the Show ignored issues setting (see below).

The following information is presented in the ignored issues table:

• Issue level
  This column shows an icon representing the severity level of the issue.

• Analysis issue
  This column shows the title of the ignored analysis issue.

• Criteria
  This column shows the criteria used when ignoring the issue (as defined in the Ignore Analysis Issue window). Only a short description is provided in the table. A more detailed description is presented in a tooltip when hovering with the mouse over the short description.

• Ignored in
  This column shows where the ignored issue is stored. This is the only column that can be modified. To change the location used the dropdown list to select any of: Session: <session name>, Project: <project name>, or Default ignored issues.

Show ignored issues

This dropdown list defines what issues should be presented in the ignored issues table. The available options are:

• (All ignored issues)
  This option will include all issues in all loaded or active sessions, all issues in all loaded profiler projects, and the default ignored issues.

• (Combined ignored session issues)
  This option will include all issues that will be ignored in the current session. It is a combination of the issues ignored in the current session, the issues ignored in the associated project, and the default ignored issues.

• Default ignored issues
  This option will only include the issues that ignored in all sessions.

• Session: <session name>
  This option will only include issues in the selected session. There will be one session item available for each loaded or active session.

• Project: <project name>
  This option will only include issues in the selected profiler project. There will be one project item available for each loaded project.

Remove ignored issue(s)

This button is used to remove the issues selected in the issues table from the list of ignored issues. This will include them in the memory analysis again.

Reset default ignored issues

This button is used to remove any user modifications from the list of default ignored issues, and restore the ignored issues from the .NET Memory Profiler installation.
