Documentation Rules

Cause

A section of the Xml header documentation for a C# element does not begin with a capital letter.

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.

A violation of this rule occurs when part of the documentation does not begin with a capital letter. For example, the summary text in the documentation below begins with a lower-case letter:

/// <summary>

/// joins a first name and a last name together into a single string.

/// </summary>

/// <param name="firstName">The first name.</param>

/// <param name="lastName">The last name.</param>

/// <returns>The joined names.</returns>

public string JoinNames(string firstName, string lastName)

{

...

}

How to Fix Violations

To fix a violation of this rule, ensure that all sections of the documentation begin with a capital letter.
