[visual-studio] Warning as error - How to get rid of these

I cannot figure out how to get rid of errors that basically should not be halting my compile in Visual Studio 2010 and should not be show stoppers, or at least I will fix them later, but I don't want the compile to just error and halt on these kinds of problems.

For example, I'm getting the following error:

Error 1 Warning as Error: XML comment on 'ScrewTurn.Wiki.SearchEngine.Relevance.Finalize(float)' has a paramref tag for 'IsFinalized', but there is no parameter by that name C:\www\Wiki\Screwturn3_0_2_509\SearchEngine\Relevance.cs 60 70 SearchEngine

for this code:

  /// <summary>
  /// Normalizes the relevance after finalization.
  /// </summary>
  /// <param name="factor">The normalization factor.</param>
  /// <exception cref="InvalidOperationException">If <paramref name="IsFinalized"/> is <c>false</c> (<see cref="M:Finalize"/> was not called).</exception>
  public void NormalizeAfterFinalization(float factor) {
      if (factor < 0)
          throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("factor", "Factor must be greater than or equal to zero");

      if (!isFinalized)
          throw new InvalidOperationException("Normalization can be performed only after finalization");
      value = value * factor;
  }

I looked in menu Tools -> Options, and I don't see where I can tweak the compiler and tell it not to worry about comment or XHTML based errors.

In the Properties,

Go to Configuration Properties. In that go to C/C++ (or something like that). ,Then click General ,In that remove the check in the "Treat Warning As Errors" Check Box

Just for people using VS2019, I think other answers are also pointing out same location.

View -> Error list -> Right click on specific Error/Warning.

You can change Severity as You want.

You can control the behavior in a headerfile or C-file:

#pragma warning(error:4003) //not enough actual parameters for macro

yet tested with Visual studio 2015. I have a common headerfile 'compl_adaption.h' for such things, included in all files, to set this behavior for all my projects compiled on visual studio.

For Visual Studio Express 2013 to get rid of these problem you have to do the following.

Right click on your project click Properties. In properties window from left menus select Configuration Properties->C/C++->General

In right side select

Treat Warning As Errors NO

and

SDL Checks NO

To treat all compiler warnings as compilation errors

1. With a project selected in Solution Explorer, on the Project menu, click Properties.
2. Click the Compile tab. (or Build Tab may be there)
3. Select the Treat all warnings as errors check box. (or select the build setting and change the “treat warnings as errors” settings to true.)

and if you want to get rid of it

To disable all compiler warnings

1. With a project selected in Solution Explorer, on the Project menu click Properties.
2. Click the Compile tab. (or Build Tab may be there)
3. Select the Disable all warnings check box. (or select the build setting and change the “treat warnings as errors” settings to false.)

The top answer is outdated for Visual Studio 2015.

English:

Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Treat Warning As Errors

German:

Konfigurationseigenschaften -> C/C++ -> Allgemein -> Warnungen als Fehler behandeln
