How to Report a False-positive / False-negative

Hey SonarSource Community! False-positives happen, as do false-negatives, and we’re eager to fix them. We are thrilled when our users report problems, so we can make our products better.

Hey @StingyJack

A new version of SonarLint for Visual Studio has been published which includes the latest version of the C# analyzer. The latest version is v6.3 – are you still facing an issue on the latest version?

No, the extension was updated last night and its stopped with that S1172 FP nonsense. Thanks.
