Can I disable / enable the set of rules that are shown by SonarLint for VS? How? A similar question was already asked in Is there some graphical way to create my own configuration file on SonarLint? but I wasn't able to follow the answer, i.e. did not find the Project/References/Analyzers node in the Solution Explorer, to be able to edit the active rule set file. Can you help me out on this one?

Here is how to open the active rule set of a project:

From there, you'll be able to enable and disable rules:

The path to the rule set file to be used is saved within your .csproj file under the <CodeAnalysisRuleSet>...</CodeAnalysisRuleSet> tag. You can reference the same rule set file from multiple projects, and store the rule set along with your project sources in Git / TFVC if you'd like all developers to share the same rule set.
