GID0005: No comments found for cref '[cref]'

Warning GID0005: No comments found for cref '[cref]' on member '[memberId]' in '[nestedElement]'

Cause

No inheritable comments were found for the indicated cref value in the nested comment element of the indicated member ID.

Solution

The possible causes for this warning are as follows:

  • The indicated ID name is misspelled or does not exist. In this, case, you must correct the ID so that it refers to a valid member ID.

  • The member does not represent an item from which comments can be inherited (i.e. not a class, an interface member, a virtual member, etc.).

  • The member's base elements do not contain comments. In this case, you must add comments on the base members so that they can be inherited.

  • If you specified a cref and/or a select attribute check them to make sure that they are accurate and will result in member comments that can be inherited.
