A <typeparam> tag within the Xml header documentation for a generic C# element is missing a name attribute, or contains an empty name attribute.
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.
A violation of this rule occurs if the element contains a <typeparam> tag within its Xml header documentation which does not declare the name of the type parameter.
To fix a violation of this rule, add or fill-in the name attribute for each <typeparam> tag, indicating the name of the type parameter that the documentation is for.
The following example shows a method with a valid documentation header:
/// <summary>
/// A sample generic class.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="S">The first generic type parameter.</typeparam>
/// <typeparam name="T">The second generic type parameter.</typeparam>
public class Class1<S, T>
