Go to Tools - VSdocman menu or press VSdocman button on standard toolbar. VSdocman dialog appears, select Project Properties pane. Set Code Members - Member Types page.
Compile also non-commented members
Compile also members without XML or old @-style comments. No comment or (if possible) the inherited comment is then used.
Accessibility
Check which members with accessibility modifiers will be compiled. Only members with checked accessibility will be compiled. If you create a class library or a control documentation for end users, you usually need to document only public, protected and internal protected members.
Members
Specify which members (classes, interfaces, methods, events, ...) go to the compilation. Options serve as a filter here.
Option |
Meaning |
Classes |
Include topics for classes. If unchecked, not only topics for classes won't be generated, neither their members such as methods or events will be included. |
Forms |
Include topics for windows form classes. If unchecked, not only topics for form classes won't be generated, neither their members such as methods or events will be included. |
Modules |
Applies to VB. Include topics for modules. If unchecked, not only topics for modules won't be generated, neither their members such as functions and variables will 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 class level variables (fields). |
Interfaces |
Include topics for interfaces. If unchecked, not only topics for interfaces won't be generated, neither their members such as methods or events will be included. |
Structures |
Include topics for structures. If unchecked, not only topics for structures won't be generated, neither their members such as methods or variables will be included. |
Enumerations |
Include topics for enumerations. |
Extern methods (Declares) |
Include topics for extern methods (Declare in VB). |
Delegates |
Include topics for delegates. |

List inherited members on "Class members" page
If you view a 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, e.g. ToString(). These members are marked as inherited.
List extension methods on "Class members" page
If you view a class members page, you see all members of that class grouped by type: constructors, methods, properties etc. If this option is checked you can see also the extension methods applicable to the type.
List forms under separate "Forms" instead of "Classes"
If you view a namespace members page, you see all members of that namespace grouped by type: classes, interfaces, enumerations etc. By default all classes that are windows forms (i.e. they inherit from Form class) are listed under classes. If you check this option, forms will be listed in a separate Forms category instead of Classes.
