IDE :: XML Documentation Comments Not Working?

Sep 1, 2006

One of the Projects in my VB.NET Solution seemed unwilling to let me write XML Documentation in my code. When tapping ''' on the line directly above a method declaration, nothing would happen. The project consisted of modules and classes only(no forms), so I initially thought that had something to do with it.

Later I found that under project properties and the Compile tab, the "Generate XML documentation file" checkbox was left unchecked. Checking this instantly allowed me to place the comments normally. After doing some testing, I also found that Creating an Empty project leaves the checkbox unchecked, while creating a Windows Application automatically checks it.

VS 2008 - Creating Comments Tags Without Generating XML Documentation File

Jul 6, 2009

When in VS 2008 if a developer hits the ''' it generates the XML comment tags for you, but this only works when the project setting for "Generate XML documentation file" is checked. Is there a way to tell VS to generate the XML Comment tags, regardless of the project setting? I think it is possible that someone may want comments but not create a XML documentation file. In this case I am exceeding the current Team Settings, yet other developers don't want me to change this project setting. This forces me to flip this back before checking in the project. I have the same problem with other Project settings like "code Analysis". This is only a problem for VB.NET projects.

VS 2010 Premium - XML Comment Documentation Not Working

Feb 21, 2012

I just downloaded the trial for this application and it doesn't seem to work. I went through the Quick Setup guide and it all looked great. Now when I place my cursor on a member of any type and press Ctrl+Shift+D it does nothing. I placed it on top, inside, etc... Nothing. If I press Ctrl+Shift+A (twice) on top of the member it tells me to place it "in the line of the form MyType myVariable;". I'm not quite sure what this means unless it's referring to C# but this project is VB.NET which it doesn't seem to recognize. Anyone else have this issue? I was hoping it would make things easier since I've read that it can document an entire document rather than having to member by member. Using VS 2010 Premium.

C# - Different Color For Code Comments And XML Comments?

Sep 26, 2011

I've noticed that in C# XML comments and code comments can have different colors by changing the settings in Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors > Display Items:

- Comment: controls code comments XML comment: controls XML comments

This works well in C# <summary>This XML comment is green</summary>

Providing Help Documentation In .NET?

Apr 26, 2010

I have written up troubleshooting documents for my project and would like them included in my program. I remember in VB6 there was a very easy way to do this with a control, where it already has the help document tree set up on the left and you just set it to point to certain files.

Does something like this exist for .NET? I am aware of the HelpProvider control but as far as I know this just puts in tooltips and opens documents on a button press?

Use The MSDN Documentation?

Feb 28, 2010

The regularity and frequency of that extolling is an indication of how many people, for whatever reason, don't use the documentation. Some say that I've forgotten what it's like to be a beginner, but I remember using the MSDN documentation as a beginner. I remember that I couldn't always find what I needed and I also remember that I didn't always understand what I found. More importantly, I remember that that didn't stop me using it first every time I had an issue and I also remember getting better at using it over time. So, I'm genuinely interested to know, if you don't use the MSDN documentation?

C# - Find Detailed Documentation For .Net?

Nov 20, 2009

Here's an example of a wasted day:

(1) I want to find out exactly what Binding.FormattingEnabled does.

(2) I type MSDN Binding.FormattingEnabled into google and go to the page.

(3) I read the 3, 'helpful', line description.

(4) I check out the bottom of the page for references.

(5) Never mind, non of those helped....

(6) I search google and find nobody seems to know what the property does in its entirety.

(7) I open up reflector and spend hours in a tangled web before being 70% sure I know what's going on.

(8) I carry on coding, but the 30% is niggling at me.

(9) Repeat 6 - 8 ad nauseum ...

There must be a better way!

I'm using VS.Net 2008 Express edition, btw.

ETA: The FormattingEnabled property was just an example, this is more of a general question. Using reflector, I'm about 94.314% sure of how it works..

C# - Force Documentation In VS(2010)

I am simply searching how to obtain errors/warning for each function/member that isnt documented. Im pretty sure I managed to do this on one of my projects, but cant find how to do it here on my workstation. I have looked into the project props, the solution props, but cant find it. I must have missed something, or maybe I could do this at home with an extension.

Reference Xml File Documentation?

Sep 22, 2009

how to call or reference an item from an xml document. I hava a java app that i'm converting over to vb.net. The java application uses the digester class to to parse the information. The app uses 2 classes and the xml file. one class is the Vb.net Parameter class (fully converted from Java to vb.net) that pulls the information out of the xml document and then places it when called into the 2nd class file.

I'm pretty sure that i need to use the system.xml class to do this however i'm having or just not reading the examples properly.

I have partially converted the code over to vb.net, it still has some java references.

I simply want to find documentation about invoke and begininvoke. A member of delegates. simply searching on it on bing and stuff don't show anything.

.net - Using Method Summary XML Comments?

Feb 9, 2011

I have been using the method summary XML Comments at the top of my procedures lately and am wondering if there are any logical or good practices related to this.I never put anything in the remarks because I put the description of the method in the summary tag. What belongs in the summary and what belongs in remarks?I seldom put anything in the returns tag because it seems like it would be redundant as I usually explain what is being returned in the summary. Should I simply keep the type of object returned in the returns tag?
