IronPython uses C # documentation

Question

I have a C # module that can be imported into IronPython (well, technically everything can, but one that was supposed to be imported). However, the default help used for C # IronPython modules is not enough.

Is there a way to capture and attach VS-exported XML documentation to a C # module using the IronPython help system? Or is there some way in C # code to indicate what IronPython should do instead of the default documentation?

Answer 1

If the XML file is in the same place as the assembly and has the same file name as ".xml" instead of ".exe" or ".dll", then IronPython should pick it up and include it in the corresponding lines of the document for types , methods, etc.
