No sourcecode documentation visible in Intellisense from my own class libraries

[Roberto Rocco]

Hello,

Whenever I use methods from my class libraries I don't get any Intellisense support of the source documentation I supplied.
When I use the same code directly instead (i.e. adding the class directly to my project and not using the assembly dll of my class library) then I get Intellisense information of the methods as expected.

Using third party assemblies instead provides me with the intellisense support.

Is there something special I need to do with my assemblies to provide the same support?

My methods are always documented like this:

using MyClassLibrary

/// <summary>
/// Summary for MyMethod
/// </summary>
/// <param name="MyParam"></param>
void MyMethod (int MyParam)
{
}

Any hints?

Many thanks in advance.

Roberto Rocco.

You need to generate xml documentation for the referenced assembly. In
Visual Studio, you can enable this in the project properties. From the
command-line, you can use the /doc switch.

If your assembly is called X.dll, then put the documentation in X.xml and
place the file next to X.dll - then it should work.

Hello Christian,

thanks a lot for your reply. That was exactly the "missing link" I was
looking for!

Now I can see my docs from my assemblies.

Best regards,

Roberto.
