Question

When writing C# code with NUnit and XML commenting is there a required, or preferred format for which comes first?

Would:

using NUnit.Framework;


namespace FooBar{

    /// <summary> 
    /// The <c>foo</c> class tests bar
    /// </summary>
    [TestFixture]
    public class Foo{
    }
}

be correct or would:

using NUnit.Framework;


namespace FooBar{

    [TestFixture]
    /// <summary> 
    /// The <c>foo</c> class tests bar
    /// </summary>
    public class Foo{
    }
}

be better?

This isn’t specific to NUnit – it’s any attributes.

It’s a matter of preference, but for me at least, the comments should come before the code – attributes count as code too.
