• Covariant Return Types - Class - These generally manifest as a CS0534 compilation error.
• Covariant Return Types - Interface - These generally manifest as a CS0738 compilation error.
• Duplicate Events - These generally manifest as a CS0102 compilation error where the referenced member is a C# event.
• Duplicate EventArgs Classes - These generally manifest as CS0111 or CS0112 compilation errors referencing EventArgs.
