You can disbale StyleCop for the entire solution by placing a Settings.StyleCop in the root of your solution folder, with the following contents:

<StyleCopSettings Version="105">
  <GlobalSettings>
    <BooleanProperty Name="RulesEnabledByDefault">False</BooleanProperty>
  </GlobalSettings>
</StyleCopSettings>

You'll need to restart Visual Studio after doing so.
