Suppress "Missing XML comment" warning during compile?

I use XML comments around most of my class libraries public property and
methods, for example:

/// <summary>
/// blah blah
/// </summary>

However I have a few dozen public constants as well as a few properties and
methods that I do not want to provide any XML comments for. This generates
errors like this:
page3.cs(43,25): warning CS1591: Missing XML comment for publicly visible
type or member 'test.testclass.constants.CONST_RECNOW'

Is there a way I can have the .NET complier (C#) suppress these warnings?
Ideally I'd like to indicate somehow in the source that these various items
do not have an xml comment so that if I write new properties it reminds me
if they are missing. Kinda like saying to the compiler 'yea I know these
don't have xml comments but that's ok' for items I choose. If not maybe I
can just turn off this particular warning altogether?

I am not sure whether this will work but to disable a
warning try this:

#pragma warning disable CS1591

That's only in C# 2.0 :)

In case you haven't bottomed this one out, I was encountering the same
problem which was bugging me no end.

The fix is to add the specific warnings to the Supress Specific
Warnings field in the project properties. eg: I use

1591,1592,1573,1571,1570,1572

which supresses all XML errors, but you can pick and choose from that
list by searching for CSxxxx in the help to see what each one is
