Today I’d like to show some new enhancements to the SyntaxEditor .NET Languages Add-on for WPF/Silverlight that are coming in the next build: documentation comment auto-generation.
Say that you are starting to type some XML documentation comments for a method:
Note that on line 70 we have already typed // and are about to type a third / character. With the new features for the next build, it will auto-insert appropriate stub documentation comments like this:
Following insert, the caret is moved between the summary tags so that documentation typing can begin immediately.
These same features work in Visual Basic as well and really make it easier for end users to quickly document code.
