<typeparamref> (C# Programming Guide)

Visual Studio 2005

Copy


<typeparamref name="name"/>

Parameters

name: The name of the type parameter. Enclose the name in double quotation marks (" ").

Remarks

For more information on type parameters in generic types and methods, see Generics.

Use this tag to enable consumers of the documentation file to format the word in some distinct way, for example in italics.

Compile with /doc to process documentation comments to a file.

Example

Copy

// compile with: /doc:DocFileName.xml 

/// comment for class
public class TestClass
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Creates a new array of arbitrary type <typeparamref name="T"/>
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">The element type of the array</typeparam>
    public static T[] mkArray<T>(int n)
    {
        return new T[n];
    }
}

FAQ

Examples, really?

Why is that that so many examples actually make no mention of what they are meant to be demonstrating use of ????

How exactly does this differ from just 'typeparam' ?

And MS would like me to actually PAY for MSDN access... LOL
