.NET Suggestion and Hint warning levels

[Doodeletion]

Thanks for the extension, I've been using it for quite a while now and find it very useful.

I am using C# and .NET has the following inspection severities:

• Error
• Warning
• Suggestion
• Hint

InlineProblems supports 4 warnings levels and while Error and Warning work as expected, Suggestion and Hint are both treated as Info.
It would be really cool if Suggestions were treated as Weak Warnings and Hints as Info, so you could set different styles for them (personally I want Suggestions to be rendered inline and disable rendering for hints). Though this would not work well with the default coloring as Suggestions would be rendered in a color similar to warnings.

I tried to make it work using the Additional Severities setting. I tested a bunch of different values and as it turns out level 10 unfortunately hits some suggestions as well as some hints. I have no idea how the severity levels map to these ints (as I am not aware of DotNet using a number system for warnings), maybe this is caused by warnings generated from different sources (e.g. compiler vs IDE).

Can you provide a example Project that instantly gives me suggestions and hints in c#?

I was wrong, the 4 inspection severities I mentioned apparently are not part of C# / the compiler directly, but rather seem to be provided by rules built into rider itself as well as rules provided via .editorconfig.

I've created a sample project that should raise all 4 inspection levels once: https://github.com/Doodeletion/CSharpSampleInlineProblems/tree/main

I've provided a minimal .editorconfig to raise a hint and suggestion.
If you enable .editorconfig support in Rider it should work immediately, without any additional configuration.

Suggestions and Hints do not show up in the "Problems" tab, it only shows Errors and Warnings.
To check if everything is set up correctly, you can instead use "Inspect code", which should look something like this:

I just tested it and i see no way to differentiate them, they have the same severity and in the RangeHighlighter(Impl) objects was no info to tell them apart.

The only way i can think of now would be a regex / string matching on the text but this would be a very strange solution

Well that's a pity. Still, I appreciate you looking into it! Thank you.
