Question

Suppose I have this interface

public interface IFoo {     ///<summary>     /// Foo method     ///</summary>     void Foo();      ///<summary>     /// Bar method     ///</summary>     void Bar();      ///<summary>     /// Situation normal     ///</summary>     void Snafu(); } 

And this class

public class Foo : IFoo {     public void Foo() { ... }     public void Bar() { ... }     public void Snafu() { ... } } 

Is there a way, or is there a tool that can let me automatically put in the comments of each member in a base class or interface?

Because I hate re-writing the same comments for each derived sub-class!

Answer 1

GhostDoc does exactly that. For methods which aren’t inherited, it tries to create a description out of the name.

FlingThing() becomes 'Flings the Thing'
