FAQPage Schema
How do I document C# public members with XML comments?

To document C# public members, add XML comments using standard tags like <summary>, <param>, and <returns> directly above your methods and properties. This enforces documentation standards to clearly describe functionality and improve code maintainability.

What XML tags should I use for C# method documentation?

For C# method documentation, you should use standard XML tags including <summary> for descriptions, <param> for parameters, <returns> for output values, and <exception> for errors. Using these tags ensures internal and public members are clearly described for developers.

Why do I need XML comments in my C# code?

You need XML comments in C# code to improve readability and enable better tooling support. Enforcing XML documentation standards ensures that classes, methods, and properties are clearly described, facilitating long-term code maintainability and developer understanding.

Does this documentation standard cover C# properties and constructors?

Yes, this documentation standard covers C# properties and constructors alongside methods. It enforces the usage of XML documentation tags to ensure all public and internal members are clearly described, guaranteeing code discoverability across your project.

What is the best way to enforce code documentation standards for internal C# members?

The best way to enforce documentation standards for internal C# members is applying standard XML comments like <remarks> and <summary>. This ensures internal members are clearly described, matching the documentation coverage required for public members.

When do I need to use the <exception> tag in C# XML documentation?

You need to use the <exception> tag in C# XML documentation when describing errors that a method might throw. Including this tag alongside <summary> and <param> enforces comprehensive XML comment standards and clarifies code behavior for other developers.
