Code Inspections in MSBuild

In MSBuild, JetBrains Rider 2021.2 provides 11 proprietary code inspections, any of which you can disable or change its severity level.
These code inspections help you detect code issues in design time in all open files, and additionally they allow you to find code issues in specific scope.

Configurable MSBuild inspections are listed below, grouped by their categories.
