Does anyone know of any tools that allow you to extract comments directly from a .cs file in to some simple text or even the clipboard? Even better if such a tool could work at the method level too.
I am not looking for something like Sandcastle that works at build time, I am looking for something that works on single source code files. Basically I need to copy a chunk of method signatures and the associated doc comments in to a text file, but I am getting bored of removing the “///” and reformating the lines. I’d love to be able to right click on a method and have a context menu item along the lines of “Copy documentation to Clipboard”.
Do any such tools exist?
No need to roll your own, have a look at cr-documentor.
It works quite well, but I suspect it running along with Resharper is a bit shaky, so I disable it until I use it.
