Cause
The Xml header documentation for a C# property does not contain a <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 missing.
How to Fix Violations
To fix a violation of this rule, add and fill-in a <value> tag within the documentation header for the property.
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; }
}
