Cause

The file tag within the file header at the top of a C# code file does not contain the name of the file.

Rule Description

A violation of this rule occurs when the file tag within the file header at the top of a C# file does not contain the name of the file. For example, consider a C# source file named File1.cs, with the following header:

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------

// <copyright file="File2.cs" company="My Company">

//     Custom company copyright tag.

// </copyright>

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------

A violation of this rule would occur, since the file tag does not contain the correct name of the file. The header should be written as:

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------

// <copyright file="File1.cs" company="My Company">

//     Custom company copyright tag.

// </copyright>

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------

How to Fix Violations

To fix a violation of this rule, add the name of the file to the file tag.
