ReSharper C# Naming Convention for DTOs

Question

I try to customize the naming rule for classes that when I see or create a DTO that the name is actually FooDTO and not FooDto. But I couldn't solve the problem that ReSharper checks every class and marks every class that has not a Dto in its name.

Can I create conditional rules that are only triggered on actual DTOs?

Answer 1

The best thing to do in your case would be simply the following:

Add another rule with the DTO suffix

Now R# is happy again as if nothing happened.

Alternatively, you can turn these warnings off in different ways:

Add the abbreviation to team-shared settings

Use SuppressMessage

[SuppressMessage("ReSharper", "InconsistentNaming")]
class WhateverDTO
{
    
}
