DataContractSerializer. Export metadata. Type Annotations

Question

Please tell me, is it possible to automatically generate annotation for types / elements in the generated xsd file with comments?

from

/// <summary> /// Comment for myclass /// </summary> [DataContract] public class myclass { } 

to

 <xs:complexType name="myclass"> <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation> Comment for myclass </xs:documentation> </xs:annotation> </xs:complexType> 

or directly to an element:

 <xs:element name="myclass" type="tns:myclass" > <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation> Comment for myclass </xs:documentation> </xs:annotation> 

 </xs:element> 

Answer 1

No, you can’t. XML comments are not compiled into your code. So svcutil just does not have this information.

However, depending on your actual goals, you can try changing the WSDL and XSD services with the instructions in this article .
