How to suppress "documentat ion missing" when overriding methods?

[Burkhard Perkens-Golomb]

Hi,

I've a question about XML documentation of overridding methods and
methods implementing an interface declaration: These methods are
normally documented in the base class or interface. So I don't want to
write new documentation when overriding or implementing.

But if I leave out documentation and compile my assembly with
"/doc" the compiler warns me about missing documentation. How can I
tell the compiler that these methods don't need new documentation? How
can I tell the compiler that the base class or interface documentation
should be used? Can I add an attribute to the method to suppress the
warning?

Thanks,

Burkhard

Sorry there is no such attribute. Some people place their documentation in
a separate file and use the <include> tag to suck in the XML. If you're
using that, then you could easily just suck in the XML from the overridden
method...
