Intention behind "EventHandler" in CA1711

[TobiasKnauss]

Describe the issue or suggestion

I have created a class named EventHandler, which IMHO does not require more text in its name, since it is a nested class inside another class with meaningful name.

The analyzer now complains about the name (CA1711). What is the reason for having "EventHandler" in CA1711? I guess dozens, if not hundrets of classes in .NET carry the text "EventHandler" as part of their name, so these violate that rule, e.g.:

• ContextMenuEventHandler
• InitializingNewItemEventHandler
• TextChangedEventHandler
• ToolTipEventHandler

(from System.Windows.Controls)

• ... (many!)

(from System.Windows.Forms)

Hello, if you have feedback on the analyzer, you should open an issue in the product repository: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk not in the documentation (this repo). I would include sample code too.

You can disable a specific analyzers if it bugs you: How to suppress CA1711

Cheers!
