What’s the purpose of the .xml documentation files shipped with the assemblies (.dll files).
I know, how to build a one (as here, for example), but what can they be used for?
Also, if this documentation can be integrated into the MS Visual Studio environment, how should that be done?
If you put the XML file in the same folder as the DLL, Visual Studio will show descriptions in IntelliSense. (including parameter tooltips)
