I don't know which warnings are disabled in the dmd build, but in my 
experience, Visual Studio has quite a few annoying and pointless warnings - 
warnings for things that are completely valid as far as the language is 
concerned and don't actually cause problems. For instance, it warns about 
pretty much all implicit conversions to bool, and IIRC, it then likes to 
warning about explictly casting to bool, forcing you to use a ternary operator 
for no good reason. In my experience, Visual Studio is _way_ overzealous about 
warnings.
