Static Code Analysis – The "Unused local variable" issue should not be shown for catch variables in Visual Basic

created 6 years ago

Hi,

I recently ran CodeIssues on my solution. It detected a lot of unused local variables that are in a catch block (ex in the sample below)

Visual Basic
Try Foo() Catch ex as Exception End Try

Not having a catch variable is bad practice and makes it hard to debug hence the variable.
Please add some option to ignore unused variables like this
