Rule Description

A violation of this rule occurs when the file header at the top of a C# file does not contain a valid summary tag. This rule is disabled by default.

//     Custom company copyright tag.

// </copyright>

// <summary>This is the Widget class.</summary>

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