Troubleshooting

• If you are getting errors on everything, make sure you have the .NET 9 SDK installed.

• If you are getting random errors from stuff that should be code generated, ensure you have Roslyn Analyzers enabled.

• If you are getting errors from the s&box libraries specifically the razor files, like this:

Then its try disabling rider's inspection for those folders.

To do this go to: Settings -> Inspection Settings Scroll down to the bottom where it says "Elements to Skip" and enter:

"Libraries\Base Library\UI"

"Libraries\Menu Addon"

If this doesn't work, you can put the following statements into "File Mask":

**\sbox\addons\tools\Code\Inspectors\**.*⤶

**\sbox\addons\base\code\UI\**.*
