Interface documentation not accessible from interface implementation class

Question

Can I somehow instruct the visual studio to automatically copy any XML interface document to the implementation class?

Accordingly, MSDN How-To has been updated for this exact effect only 2 months ago, as expected. But I just can’t reproduce this behavior. Also looking at the xml file in this article, there is actually no entry to implement the interface.

Answer 1

As far as I know, VS itself cannot do this. Our VSdocman automatically inherits comments from the base and implemented types when creating documentation. Moreover, it can explicitly add an inherited comment to the source code.

Answer 2

I use subain GhostDoc - this is a free plug-in for visual studio that automatically documents blocks of code, either by copying from the documentation of the base class / interface, or by reasonably trying to guess the documentation (which is surprisingly effective). These days I could not develop.

Answer 3

You can use Sandbule Help File Builder
it has <inheritdoc/> , which allows you to inherit documentation from the base types.
