C# xml documentation: How to create Notes?

In C#, you can create notes in XML documentation comments using the <remarks> tag. The <remarks> tag is used to provide additional information, explanations, or any other relevant details about a class, method, property, or any other code element documented.

Here's an example of how to create notes in XML documentation:

/// <summary> /// This class represents a person. /// </summary> /// <remarks> /// This class contains properties to store information about a person, /// such as their name and age. It also provides methods to perform /// various operations related to a person. /// </remarks> public class Person { /// <summary> /// Gets or sets the name of the person. /// </summary> public string Name { get; set; } /// <summary> /// Gets or sets the age of the person. /// </summary> public int Age { get; set; } /// <summary> /// Prints a greeting message for the person. /// </summary> /// <remarks> /// This method generates a friendly greeting message using the person's name /// and age and writes it to the console. /// </remarks> public void Greet() { Console.WriteLine($"Hello, my name is {Name}, and I am {Age} years old."); } }

In this example, the <remarks> tag is used in both the class-level and method-level XML documentation comments. The <remarks> tag provides additional information about the class and method, respectively.

When you generate the XML documentation for your code (e.g., using Visual Studio's "Generate XML documentation" option or a tool like Sandcastle), the content inside the <remarks> tag will be included in the generated documentation. It serves as useful documentation for developers reading and using your code.

Examples

  1. Include Additional Information in XML Documentation Comments

    "C# XML documentation add notes"

    Description: Use standard XML documentation comments to add notes or additional information.

    Code Implementation:

    /// <summary> /// This method performs a specific task. /// Note: Additional information goes here. /// </summary> public void MyMethod() { // Method implementation }

  2. Use <remarks> Tag for Notes in XML Documentation

    "C# XML documentation remarks tag for notes"

    Description: The <remarks> tag can be used to provide detailed notes or additional information.

    Code Implementation:

    /// <summary> /// This method performs a specific task. /// <remarks> /// Additional information and notes go here. /// </remarks> /// </summary> public void MyMethod() { // Method implementation }

  3. Use <summary> and <remarks> Tags for Detailed Documentation

    "C# XML documentation summary remarks detailed documentation"

    Description: Combine <summary> and <remarks> for a comprehensive description, including notes.

    Code Implementation:

    /// <summary> /// This method performs a specific task. /// </summary> /// <remarks> /// Additional information and notes go here. /// </remarks> public void MyMethod() { // Method implementation }

  4. Create Custom XML Tags for Notes

    "C# XML documentation custom tags for notes"

    Description: Define custom XML tags (e.g., <note>) to include specific notes in your documentation.

    Code Implementation:

    /// <summary> /// This method performs a specific task. /// <note> /// Custom note: Additional information goes here. /// </note> /// </summary> public void MyMethod() { // Method implementation }

  5. Use <seealso> Tag for Cross-Reference Notes

    "C# XML documentation seealso tag for notes"

    Description: Employ <seealso> to cross-reference related documentation elements, providing notes.

    Code Implementation:

    /// <summary> /// This method performs a specific task. /// <seealso cref="RelatedClass.SomeMethod"/> /// </summary> public void MyMethod() { // Method implementation }

  6. Use <code> Tag for Inline Code Notes

    "C# XML documentation code tag for inline code notes"

    Description: Utilize <code> tag to include inline code snippets in your notes.

    Code Implementation:

    /// <summary> /// This method performs a specific task. /// <code> /// var result = MyMethod(); /// </code> /// </summary> public void MyMethod() { // Method implementation }

  7. Use <example> Tag for Detailed Examples with Notes

    "C# XML documentation example tag for notes"

    Description: Employ <example> tag to provide detailed examples including notes.

    Code Implementation:

    /// <summary> /// This method performs a specific task. /// <example> /// Additional information and example code go here. /// </example> /// </summary> public void MyMethod() { // Method implementation }

  8. Include Notes in <param> and <returns> Tags

    "C# XML documentation param returns tags with notes"

    Description: Add notes within <param> and <returns> tags to provide more information about parameters and return values.

    Code Implementation:

    /// <summary> /// This method calculates the sum. /// </summary> /// <param name="a">First operand.</param> /// <param name="b">Second operand.</param> /// <returns>The sum of a and b. /// Additional notes: Ensure a and b are positive integers for accurate results. /// </returns> public int CalculateSum(int a, int b) { // Method implementation return a + b; }

  9. Use <exception> Tag for Exception Documentation with Notes

    "C# XML documentation exception tag with notes"

    Description: Include notes within <exception> tags to provide additional information about exceptions.

    Code Implementation:

    /// <summary> /// This method divides two numbers. /// </summary> /// <param name="a">Dividend.</param> /// <param name="b">Divisor (non-zero).</param> /// <returns>The result of the division.</returns> /// <exception cref="DivideByZeroException">Thrown when the divisor is zero. /// Additional notes: Ensure the divisor is non-zero before calling this method. /// </exception> public int Divide(int a, int b) { // Method implementation if (b == 0) throw new DivideByZeroException(); return a / b; }

  10. Use <typeparam> Tag for Generic Type Parameter Notes

    "C# XML documentation typeparam tag with notes"

    Description: Include notes within <typeparam> tags to provide additional information about generic type parameters.

    Code Implementation:

    /// <summary> /// This generic method performs a specific task. /// </summary> /// <typeparam name="T">Type parameter representing the data type.</typeparam> /// <remarks> /// Additional notes: T should be a valid data type for accurate results. /// </remarks> public void GenericMethod<T>() { // Method implementation }
