c# - How to get rid of CA2000 warning when ownership is transferred?

Question

The following code generates two CA2000 warnings (among others, but that's not the point).

public sealed class Item: IDisposable
{
    public void Dispose() {}
}

public sealed class ItemContainer
{
    public void Add(Item item)
    {
    }
}

public sealed class Test: IDisposable
{
    private ICollection<Item> itemCollection;
    private ItemContainer itemContainer;

    private void Add(Item item)
    {
        itemCollection.Add(item);
    }

    public void Initialize()
    {
        var item1 = new Item(); // no warning
        itemCollection.Add(item1);

        var item2 = new Item(); // CA2000: call Dispose on object item2
        Add(item2);

        var item3 = new Item(); // CA2000: call Dispose on object item3
        itemContainer.Add(item3);
    }

    public void Dispose() {}
}

Note that there is no warning generated for item1. It seems, Code Analysis assumes the ICollection will take responsibility of the item and eventually dispose it.

Is there a way to mark my Add methods, so that the warning goes away?

I'm looking for something similar to ValidatedNotNullAttribute for CA1062.

Edit: to make it clear: this is not my real code. In the real code, everything is properly disposed.

It's just that CA does not recognize that the call to my Add methods transfers ownership. I would like it to treat my Add methods in the same way it treats ICollection.Add.

Disposing in the same scope is not an option.

Do you want to fix the code or just suppress the warnings? Suppressing the warnings is straightforward:

[SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Reliability",
                 "CA2000:DisposeObjectsBeforeLosingScope",
                 Justification = "Your reasons go here")]
public void Initialize()
{
    // ...
}
