XML documentation for accessors.

[Steven Quail]

Hi to all,

I have just found the XML documentation option in VS.net which
generates
a HTML page of the XML tags in a project.

What I would like to know is if there is an option or a way of getting
the
same HTML page but instead of all the methods of a class listed one
after
another, what I would like to see is a section (in HTML) for public
methods,
another for private methods etc.

In this way, I will be able to see what interface methods are exposed
by my objects rather than all the methods.

TIA
Steven.

I personally don't like the way VS.NET generates the XML pages because it
does not use all the tags or allows you much control over appearance. You
might try a specialized document generator such as nDoc
(http://ndoc.sourceforge.net/).

Re: XML documentation for accessors.

Cheers Peter for the reply.

You would think that when someone else or at a later stage you look at your
code, it is the public interface that enables to see what your object does.
I do not want to search through all the methods (private etc) to get an idea
that my object or someone elses does a few things. The XML documentation is
no good to me in its current format. Nice idea but not very practical in
this case.

I was hoping that there would be a simple option in the IDE that would
supply the HTML output separated by Public, private, protected etc methods.

Thanks once again.
Steven.
