Business value

Adding code documentation tags to objects provides inline help when consuming the objects from calling code, helping understand both intent and usage.

Feature details

Using /// inserts a basic XML doc template, based on the object or member signature. Additional documentation tags can be inserted using IntelliSense support.

Furthermore, when using IntelliSense for object and members, the provided documentation comments will be shown in addition to signature.
