Question

I have a c# project that I need to document with doxygen. It picks up the comments autogenerated by visual studio’s /// but unfortunately it does not pick up on the normal // comments. Is there a config setting that I am missing? Or is this just not possible?

Answer 1

/// is referred to as XML Documentation Comments. This is how Doxygen and other documentation-generating software locate areas of the code you want to be used as documentation.

To elaborate, if you have comments like // This is hacky, but I'll return to it later in your code you should change them to an XML comment section on the method, property, or object in question.
