Excluded folders are still being analysed in msbuild step

Hey there.

sonar.exclusions does not affect the MSBuild step itseelf – only the “end” step of the Scanner for .NET. You can prevent the analyzers from running at all during the build adding this to the relevant .csproj file(s).

<!-- in .csproj -->
<PropertyGroup>
  <!-- Exclude the project from analysis -->
  <SonarQubeExclude>true</SonarQubeExclude>
</PropertyGroup>

There’s also an interesting solution proposed in this StackOverflow post to systematically apply this setting based on a RegEx.
