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

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.

• If the [nestedElement] part of the message is "[Base member from reference assembly not included for documentation]", it means that the identified member tried to inherit documentation from a base class that is in a reference assembly. You can resolve this problem by using the Additional Reference Links plug-in to add reference information for the assembly. Be sure to include the reference assembly's XML comments file in the main project so that the inherited documentation can be found.
