Compile also non-commented members
Compile also members without special XML or @-style comments. The default comment is then assumed. Member acts as if there was a comment added using Add XML Comment function from pop-up menu and nothing else was added.
Accessibility
Check which members with accessibility modifiers will be compiled. Only members with checked accessibility will be compiled. If you create class library or control documentation for end user you usually need to document only public members.
Members
Specify which members (classes, forms, methods, events, ...) go to the compilation. Options serve as a filter here.
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Classes | Include topics for classes (objects). If unchecked, not only topics for classes won't be generated, but also their members such as methods or events will not be included. |
| Forms | Include topics for form classes. If unchecked, not only topics for form classes won't be generated, but also their members such as methods or events will not be included. |
| Modules | Applies to VB. Include topics for modules. If unchecked, not only topics for modules won't be generated, but also their members such as functions and variables will not be included.Modules are listed as NonInheritable classes with all members set as Shared in the final documentation. |
| Methods/Functions | Include topics for methods and functions. |
| Properties | Include topics for properties. |
| Events | Include topics for events. |
| Variables | Include topics for variables. |
| Interfaces | Include topics for interfaces. If unchecked, not only topics for interfaces won't be generated, but also their members such as methods or events will not be included. |
|
Structures |
Include topics for structures. If unchecked, not only topics for structures won't be generated, but also their members such as methods or variables will not be included. |
| Enumerations | Include topics for enumerations. Note, if you want to list complete enumeration with its constants in documentation you must also check to compile Constants. |
| Declares | Include topics for declares in VB (external functions in C#). |
| Delegates | Include topics for delegates. |
| Constants | Include topics for constants. |
List forms under separate category
If you view topic for namespace and click to namespace members page you see all members of that namespace grouped by type: classes, interfaces, enumerations etc. By default all classes that are form (i.e. they inherit from Form class) are listed under classes. If you check this option, forms will be listed in separate Forms category instead of Classes.List inherited members
If you view topic for class and click to class members page you see all members of that class grouped by type: constructors, methods, properties etc. If this option is unchecked you only see the members that are explicitly defined in this class. If you check this option you will see also all inherited members. These members are marked as inherited.
