Description

Use nameof.

Motivation

Using nameof is more refactoring friendly than string literals. In the following snippet nameof is preferable for parameter name.

public class C
{
    public void M(object value)
    {
        if (value is null)
        {
            throw new ArgumentNullException(""value"");
        }
    }
}

How to fix violations

Use the cod fix or manually change it to:

public class C
{
    public void M(object value)
    {
        if (value is null)
        {
            throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(value));
        }
    }
}

Configure severity

Via ruleset file.

Configure the severity per project, for more info see MSDN.

Via #pragma directive.

#pragma warning disable GU0006 // Use nameof
Code violating the rule here
#pragma warning restore GU0006 // Use nameof

Or put this at the top of the file to disable all instances.

#pragma warning disable GU0006 // Use nameof

Via attribute [SuppressMessage].
