SA1640: File header should have valid company text

Cause

The file header at the top of a C# code file does not contain company name text.

Rule description

A violation of this rule occurs when the file header at the top of a C# file does not contain a company tag with company name text. For example:

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// <copyright file="Widget.cs" company="">
//     Custom company copyright tag.
// </copyright>
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The company attribute should have text in it. For example:

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// <copyright file="Widget.cs" company="My Company">
//     Custom company copyright tag.
// </copyright>
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Disabling SA1640 makes the company attribute optional. SA1641 still checks that attribute when it is present.

How to fix violations

To fix a violation of this rule, add and fill-in a company attribute containing the name of the company.
