nhibernate virtual methods & resharper

Question

I am curious how other Resharper users deal wih R#'s complaint about virtual methods it thinks are unused because it can't tell that NHIb will use them at runtime. I currently leave it as a hint, reluctantly, although am tempted to shut it off completely.

Cheers,
Berryl

example property or method where R# sees that a virtual member is never overriden

   public virtual string Hello{ get { return "Hello"; } }

Answer 1

You can safely keep them as hints.

It would be nice if R# allowed different settings per project, so you could disable it for your Domain classes only.

It's important to remember R# is just a tool; don't let it do the thinking for you. If an inspection is unhelpful most of the time, just disable it (or leave it as a hint, like you did)

Answer 2

Have you tried adding the UsedImplicitlyAttribute?

EDIT: This works for me at the method level to suppress "Method 'Fink' is never used":

[UsedImplicitly]
private void Fink()
{
   Console.WriteLine("Fink!");
}

Note that you can also go to ReSharper/Options/Code Inspection/Settings and add to the Generated code regions. We do that for our CodeSmith templates.
