BE0009: '[memberId]' is marked with <exclude /> but conflicted with the API filter

Warning BE0009: '[memberId]' is marked with <exclude /> but conflicted with the API filter setting. Exclusion ignored.

Cause

This warning occurs if the indicated API member has an <exclude /> tag in its XML comments but the ApiFilter project property explicitly marks it as included. In such cases, the API filter wins and the member is included in the help file.

Solution

This situation can occur if the member was previously included explicitly in the API filter and the <exclude /> tag was added to its comments at a later date. In order to fix this issue, remove the <exclude /> tag from the member's comments and, if not wanted, mark it as excluded in the help project's ApiFilter property.
