IDisposableAnalyzers.Reloaded
Roslyn analyzers for IDisposable - a maintained fork ("Reloaded") of the abandoned DotNetAnalyzers/IDisposableAnalyzers, originally created by Johan Larsson and milleniumbug.

Drop-in replacement: same analyzer assembly (IDisposableAnalyzers.dll) and the same diagnostic ids (IDISPxxx). Swap the IDisposableAnalyzers package for IDisposableAnalyzers.Reloaded and your existing .editorconfig severities keep working. Targets Visual Studio 2022+ (Roslyn 4.x), the same baseline as upstream 4.x.
| Id | Title |
|---|---|
| IDISP001 | Dispose created |
| IDISP002 | Dispose member |
| IDISP003 | Dispose previous before re-assigning |
| IDISP004 | Don't ignore created IDisposable |
| IDISP005 | Return type should indicate that the value should be disposed |
| IDISP006 | Implement IDisposable |
| IDISP007 | Don't dispose injected |
| IDISP008 | Don't assign member with injected and created disposables |
| IDISP009 | Add IDisposable interface |
| IDISP010 | Call base.Dispose(disposing) |
| IDISP011 | Don't return disposed instance |
| IDISP012 | Property should not return created disposable |
| IDISP013 | Await in using |
| IDISP014 | Use a single instance of HttpClient |
| IDISP015 | Member should not return created and cached instance |
| IDISP016 | Don't use disposed instance |
| IDISP017 | Prefer using |
| IDISP018 | Call SuppressFinalize |
| IDISP019 | Call SuppressFinalize |
| IDISP020 | Call SuppressFinalize(this) |
| IDISP021 | Call this.Dispose(true) |
| IDISP022 | Call this.Dispose(false) |
| IDISP023 | Don't use reference types in finalizer context |
| IDISP024 | Don't call GC.SuppressFinalize(this) when the type is sealed and has no finalizer |
| IDISP025 | Class with no virtual dispose method should be sealed |
| IDISP026 | Class with no virtual DisposeAsyncCore method should be sealed |
| SyntaxTreeCacheAnalyzer | Controls caching of for example semantic models for syntax trees |
Using IDisposableAnalyzers.Reloaded
Add the IDisposableAnalyzers.Reloaded NuGet package to your project(s). The analyzer then lights up in Visual Studio, Rider and dotnet build / CI.
The severity of individual rules is configured via .editorconfig, for example:
dotnet_diagnostic.IDISP001.severity = warning
dotnet_diagnostic.IDISP004.severity = error
Installation
dotnet add package IDisposableAnalyzers.Reloaded
or
Install-Package IDisposableAnalyzers.Reloaded
Acknowledgements
Originally created by Johan Larsson and milleniumbug as IDisposableAnalyzers under the MIT license. This fork revives and maintains that work after the upstream went dormant in 2024. All original diagnostic ids and behavior are preserved.
Current status
The analyzer tackles a genuinely hard problem and will never be perfect, but it finds real bugs and improves one test case at a time. Please file issues where it should warn but does not, or where it warns and there is no bug.
