How do you get XML comments to appear in a different project (dll)?

by

A couple of suggestions:

  • Make sure that your compiler is configured to emit the XML doc comments as part of the compilation job
    • The Microsoft C# compiler switch that controls this is /doc, and can also be configured via the Build property page in a project’s settings
  • Make sure that the XML file produced by the compiler matches the name of the DLL (i.e. myAssembly.dll -> myAssembly.xml)
  • When you use the assembly in another project, make sure that the XML file is in the same directory as the DLL being referenced.
