Compiler Warning (level 3) CS0419

Ambiguous reference in cref attribute: 'Method Name1'. Assuming 'Method Name2', but could have also matched other overloads including 'Method Name3'.

In an XML documentation comment in the code, a reference could not be resolved. This could occur if the method is overloaded, or if two different identifiers with the same name are found. To resolve the warning, use a qualified name to disambiguate the reference, or include the specific overload in parentheses.

The following sample generates CS0419.

C#
// cs0419.cs  
// compile with: /doc:x.xml /W:3  
interface I  
{  
   /// text for F(void)  
   void F();  
   /// text for F(int)  
   void F(int i);  
}  
/// text for class MyClass  
public class MyClass  
{  
   /// <see cref="I.F"/>  
   public static void MyMethod(int i)  
   {  
   }  
/* Try this instead:  
   /// <see cref="I.F(int)"/>  
   public static void MyMethod(int i)  
   {  
   }  
*/  
   /// text for Main  
   public static void Main ()  
   {  
   }  
}
