Comment référencer un mot-clé C# dans une documentation XML ?

Question

<see cref="switch" /> par exemple, ne fonctionne pas - j'obtiens l'avertissement de compilation : XML comment on ... has syntactically incorrect cref attribute 'switch'

La balise en question peut être trouvée dans le <remarks> tag pour SerializeProperty . J'ai opté pour une documentation plus détaillée. Je prévois également de fournir des <example> mais je n'ai pas encore eu le temps de le faire.

Answer 1

Cref est destiné à faire référence à un autre membre - une classe, une méthode, etc.

Quel lien voulez-vous qu'il établisse dans ce cas ? D'une manière générale, quel effet global souhaitez-vous obtenir ?

Selon cette excellent guide des documents XML El <see> a un attribut non documenté langword :

<see langword="switch" />

Cela vous aiderait-il ? Cela pourrait valoir la peine d'essayer, juste pour voir ce que ça donne.

Si vous voulez simplement utiliser un hyperlien normal, utilisez href au lieu de cref :

<see href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/06tc147t.aspx">switch</see>
