Is StringFormatMethod working with generic arguments?

Hi,

I use resharper_7.1.1 with vs2010 and I have a method from 3rd-party library with the signature Debug<TArgument>(string message, TArgument).

I wanted to have the same code analysis as for string.Format() that checks if the message contains a {0} for TArgument.
So I tried to add an annotation xml file with the following member, but it doesn't work:
<member name="M:[AssemblyName].Debug``1(System.String,``0)">
<attribute ctor="M:JetBrains.Annotations.StringFormatMethodAttribute.#ctor(System.String)"><argument>message</argument></attribute>
</member>

My question: Is it possible to use a StringFormatMethodAttribute with generic typed arguments? And if yes, can anybody give me an example?

Thank you in advance.

I've just tried this with ReSharper 7.1.3, and it works fine. Here's the xml file I'm using:

<assembly name="StringFormatAttributeTest">
    <member name="M:StringFormatAttributeTest.Class1.Debug``1(System.String,``0)">
        <attribute ctor="M:JetBrains.Annotations.StringFormatMethodAttribute.#ctor(System.String)">
            <argument>message</argument>
        </attribute>
    </member>
</assembly>

This is for an assembly called StringFormatAttributeTest.dll, with the Debug<T>(string, T) method living in a namespace also called StringFormatAttributeTest. The file is called StringFormatAttributeTest.ExternalAnnotations.xml and lives side-by-side with the dll.

Thanks Matt

I didn't see that there exist overloads of the method for value data types like Debug(string, int) of Debug(string, long) and I only tried with this kind of data types.
