TypeName

ElementDocumentationHeadersMustNotBeFollowedByBlankLine

CheckId

SA1506

Category

Layout Rules

Cause

An element documentation header above a C# element is followed by a blank line.

Rule Description

To improve the readability of the code, StyleCop requires blank lines in certain situations, and prohibits blank lines in other situations. This results in a consistent visual pattern across the code, which can improve recognition and readability of unfamiliar code.

A violation of this rule occurs when the element documentation header above an element is followed by a blank line. For example:

/// <summary>

/// Gets a value indicating whether the control is enabled.

/// </summary>

public bool Enabled

{

get { return this.enabled; }

}

The code above would generate an instance of this violation, since the documentation header is followed by a blank line.

How to Fix Violations

To fix a violation of this rule, remove the blank line following the documentation header.
