Share xml-documentation accross overloads

Hey, is there a way to share xml-documentation of the parameters to all the overloads? Lets say I have 10 overloads of a method but they all share the first 5 parameter (I use C# so I cannot have optional parameters).

Mandatory method documentation

On my previous job, providing all methods with javadoc was mandatory, which resulted in things like: /** * Sets the Frobber. * * @param frobber The frobber */ public setFrobber(Frobber frobber) { ... } As you can see, the documentation takes up space and work, but adds little to the code. Should documenting all methods be mandato...

VS2008 Help: How can I limit the index & search to just topics I want?

Time was that I could F1 a symbol in my .cpp or .h file, and I'd be given a reasonable list of possible topics to delve into. That was long, long ago. These days, I press F1 and I'm rarely given information that is even vaguely, tangentially or tenuously related to the API or subsystem in question. Instead, I am deluged with Windows M...

Selectively suppress XML Code Comments in C#?

We deliver a number of assemblies to external customers, but not all of the public APIs are officially supported. For example, due to less than optimal design choices sometimes a type must be publicly exposed from an assembly for the rest of our code to work, but we don't want customers to use that type. One part of communicating the l...

$Id tag in comment headers

When I read source from open source projects I often find a comment line with "$Id" at the header of the file, f. ex.: // $Id: addappwindowa.c 30792 2009-03-07 22:40:04Z neil $ Is there an "offical" syntax for this lines? (What does "30792" means? ) Are there editors that auto-generate these "$Id"s? Are there any tools that use this ...

Eclipse JDT API documentation, preferrably CHM format

I will be off-line for the most of the time and therefore I will not be able to access the Eclipse JDT API documentation on the Web.

Tags/Documentation with SVN Project in Eclipse?

I've searched around with this and haven't found any clear answers. I'm using Eclipse PDT. It seems that if I create a PHP Project, tags work (@todo, etc). However, if I create a project from SVN (still PHP based), tags don't work at all. Does anyone know how to make tags and doc generation work on a per project basis and still import ...

How to properly document programming languages?

Generate markdown from source code doc-comments

Is there any easy way to generate markdown from source code comments? I'm looking for something similar to Sandcastle, but with Markdown (or something like it) as output. The full story is that I use DokuWiki to generate documentation. It has many nice properties, including that all its data is stored in text files. So my idea is that I...

I've made class diagrams for my projects in Visual Studio 2008 Team System and I want to embed these diagrams in my Sandcastle .chm file.

API for accessing PHP documentation?

I'm done some Googling, and I've found nothing. I'm scoping out writing a plugin for an editor I use, and I am wondering whether there is a way I can access the PHP documentation via an API?
