Warning as error - How to get rid of these

Each project in Visual Studio has a "treat warnings as errors" option. Go through each of your projects and change that setting:

  1. Right-click on your project, select "Properties".
  2. Click "Build".
  3. Switch "Treat warnings as errors" from "All" to "Specific warnings" or "None".

The location of this switch varies, depending on the type of project (class library vs. web application, for example).


For Visual Studio Express 2013 to get rid of these problem you have to do the following.

Right click on your project click Properties. In properties window from left menus select Configuration Properties->C/C++->General

In right side select

Treat Warning As Errors NO

and

SDL Checks NO
