CheckId SA1610
Category Documentation Rules

Cause

The Xml header documentation for a C# property contains an empty <value> tag.

Rule description

C# syntax provides a mechanism for inserting documentation for classes and elements directly into the code, through the use of Xml documentation headers. For an introduction to these headers and a description of the header syntax, see the following article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/xmldoc/xml-documentation-comments.

The documentation for properties may include a <value> tag, which describes the value held by the property.

A violation of this rule occurs when the <value> tag for a property is empty.

How to fix violations

To fix a violation of this rule, fill-in a description of the value held by the property within the <value> tag.

Example:

The following example shows a property which contains a <value> tag within its documentation header.

/// <summary>
/// Gets the name of the customer. 
/// </summary>
/// <value>The name of the customer.</value>
public bool Name
{
    get { return this.name; }
}
