Compiler Warning (level 2) CS1587

XML comment is not placed on a valid language element

Recommended tags for documentation comments are not allowed on all language elements. For example, a tag is not allowed on a namespace. For more information on XML comments, see Recommended Tags for Documentation Comments.

Example

The following sample generates CS1587:

C#
// CS1587.cs  
// compile with: /W:2 /doc:x.xml  
  
/// <summary>test</summary>   // CS1587, tag not allowed on namespace  
namespace MySpace  
{  
    class MyClass  
    {  
        public static void Main()  
        {  
        }  
    }  
}
