TypeName	PropertyDocumentationMustHaveValueText
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: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc302121.aspx.

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; }

}
