Re-opened. Folks are a bit trigger-happy when it comes to "list" questions, as they've been so often abused ("What's your favorite worst code ever written by rockstar programmers?", etc.) For future reference, it usually works better to ask the question and then seed it with your own answer.

Look on the bright side: you're not using Java.

RaiseError(ErrorScope.CSharp, 224); Now, you have to inject that into the C# compiler...

Why? When I look at OpenXML documentation, as an example, it is full of "stubs" like that, which do not give me a bit of information (but take an whole useless page) What's the purpose? To prove that that they hire document writers from the the same cohort of kiddie programmers who document "getX" method as "gets x"?

Are you a mind reader, or did you encounter this bit of undocumented joy before yourself?

CS0225 is documented and related to the params keyword, and so I guessed that CS0224 would be something similar to that. The Chinese search results also confirmed this (they showed varargs in the message, the rest of which was in Chinese). Typically most of the originally tried out and discarded (and thus undocumented) features don't work with generics - so that was one of the first things I tried, and I got the error :-)

There are actually several variations that will give you this error. In all cases you are using a keyword. The problem is there are some keywords that are either not documented or context sensitive. For example get_ is not allowed because this is the signature use to generate the getter of a property. In general you should not use any variable that starts with __ (two underscores). C/C++ defines compiler-specific values and keywords using two underscores for convenience. The C# folks followed the same rule. Avoid using __ and you should be fine.
