Compiler Warning (level 2) CS1572

  • Article

XML comment on 'construct' has a param tag for 'parameter', but there is no parameter by that name

When using the /doc compiler option, a comment was specified for a parameter that does not exist for the method. Change the value passed to the name attribute or remove one of the comment lines.

The following sample generates CS1572:

// CS1572.cs
// compile with: /W:2 /doc:x.xml

/// <summary>help text</summary>
public class MyClass
{
   /// <param name='Int1'>Used to indicate status.</param>
   /// <param name='Char1'>Used to indicate status.</param>
   /// <param name='Char2'>???</param> // CS1572
   public static void MyMethod(int Int1, char Char1)
   {
   }

   /// <summary>help text</summary>
   public static void Main ()
   {
   }
}
