XML Documentation Comments (C# Programming Guide)

In Visual C# you can create documentation for your code by including XML tags in special comment fields in your source code directly before the code block they refer to. For example:

/// <summary>
///  This class performs an important function.
/// </summary>
public class MyClass{}

When you compile with /doc the compiler will search for all XML tags in your source code and create an XML documentation file.

NoteNote

The XML doc comments are not metadata; they are not included in the compiled assembly and therefore they are not accessible through reflection.
