C# Compiler Error
CS0316 – The parameter name ‘name’ conflicts with an automatically-generated parameter name.
Reason for the Error
You’ll get this error in your C# code when you have used one of the reserved words in C# as part of the default property or indexer accessor.
For example, lets try to compile the below code snippet.
using System;
namespace DeveloperPublishNamespace
{
public class Employee
{
public int this[int value]
{
get { return value; }
set { }
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Employee emp = new Employee();
Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
}
}
}You’ll receive the error code CS0316 because you are using the reserved keyword “value” for the indexer in the class Employee.

Solution
You can fix this error in your C# program by changing the name of this parameter from the reserved keyword to something that is non-reserved.
using System;
namespace DeveloperPublishNamespace
{
public class Employee
{
public int this[int input]
{
get { return input; }
set { }
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Employee emp = new Employee();
Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
}
}
}
