Compiler Warning (level 1) CS1574

XML comment on 'construct' has syntactically incorrect cref attribute 'name'

A string passed to a cref tag, for example, within an <exception> tag, referred to a member that is not available within the current build environment. The string that you pass to a cref tag must be the syntactically correct name of a member or field.

For more information, see Recommended Tags for Documentation Comments.

The following sample generates CS1574:

// CS1574.cs  
// compile with: /W:1 /doc:x.xml  
using System;  
  
/// <exception cref="System.Console.WriteLin">An exception class.</exception>   // CS1574  
// instead, uncomment and try the following line  
// /// <exception cref="System.Console.WriteLine">An exception class.</exception>  
class EClass : Exception  
{  
}  
  
class TestClass  
{  
   public static void Main()  
   {  
      try  
      {  
      }  
      catch(EClass)  
      {  
      }  
   }  
}
