Cosa si fa riferimento si chiama documentazione XML o XML-doc.
XML-doc viene eseguito su una classe, un campo, una proprietà, un evento o un metodo utilizzando tre barre in avanti (///
), seguite da meta-informazioni in formato XML sulla classe o il suo membro.
VS ti aiuterà a generare e formattare questi commenti con il supporto IntelliSense integrato per i commenti XML, ma c'è uno strumento gratuito chiamato GhostDoc che genererà automaticamente il modello XML-doc completo, ed è anche abbastanza "intelligente" in alcuni casi per cercare di indovinare una descrizione di base per vari elementi della documentazione.
Ecco un esempio di base di documentazione XML:
/// <summary>
/// Defines the behavior of a class following the Repository pattern for data access
/// with basic atomic operation control.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="TRest">An interface derived from IDomainObject that describes domain objects
/// that can be retrieved or saved by this Repository.</typeparam>
public interface IRepository<TRest> : IDisposable where TRest : IDomainObject
{
/// <summary>
/// Begins a new unit of work to be performed atomically by the Repository.
/// </summary>

+1 per GhostDoc –
@Shymep GhostDoc sembra fantastico. Dovrò provarlo di sicuro. – loyalpenguin
