Error 1 Warning as Error: XML comment on 'FreeImageAPI.Plugins.PluginRepository.Plugin(string)' has a typeparamref tag for 'expression', but there is no type parameter by that name C:\Users\Public\Documents\@Programming\FreeImage\Wrapper\FreeImage.NET\cs\Library\Classes\PluginRepository.cs 63 27 Library

 /// <summary>

        /// <typeparamref name="expression"/> is searched in:

        public static FreeImagePlugin Plugin(string expression)
        {
            FreeImagePlugin result = null;
            expression = expression.ToLower();

            foreach (FreeImagePlugin plugin in plugins)
            {
                if (plugin.Format.ToLower().Contains(expression) ||
                    plugin.RegExpr.ToLower().Contains(expression) ||
                    plugin.ValidExtension(expression, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) ||
                    plugin.ValidFilename(expression, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))
                {
                    result = plugin;
                    break;
                }
            }

            return result;
        }

How do i fix it ? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You should change <typeparamref name="expression"/> to <paramref name="expression"/>.
<typeparamref> is intended to describe a type parameter (as in generics) and not the name of a parameter that is received by the method.

Check typeparamref here and paramref here

Answer 2

I ran into the same thing and I solved it by:

1. Right click on your project and select 'Properties'.
2. Select the 'Build' tab on the left side.
3. Go to the 'Treat warnings as errors' section and select 'None'.
