## Cause
A property on a type deriving from <xref:Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.ComponentBase> annotated with [`[Parameter]`](xref:Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.ParameterAttribute) is being assigned to from outside the component.
## Rule description
Component parameters should be assigned to as part of the component initialization or as part of `SetParametersAsync`. Assigning a value to a parameter from an external source results in the value being overwritten the next time the component renders.
## How to fix violations
Consider using a distinct property to receive values from other components. Additional code can then be written to decide which of the two values to use in the component.
