XDCMake task
Note
This task is only available when using the C++ build system.
Wraps the XML Documentation tool (xdcmake.exe), which merges XML document comment (.xdc) files into an .xml file.
An .xdc file is created when you provide documentation comments in your C++ source code and compile by using the /doc compiler option. For more information, see XDCMake reference, XML Document Generator Tool property pages, and command-line help option (/?) for xdcmake.exe.
Remarks
By default, the xdcmake.exe tool supports a few command-line options. Additional options are supported when you specify the /old command-line option.
Parameters
The following table describes the parameters of the XDCMake task.

| DocumentLibraryDependencies | Optional Boolean parameter. If true and the current project has a dependency on a static library (.lib) project in the solution, the .xdc files for that library project are included in the .xml file output for the current project.For more information, see the Document Library Dependencies description in XML Document Generator Tool property pages. |
| OutputFile | Optional String parameter. Overrides the default output file name. The default name is derived from the name of the first .xdc file that is processed. For more information, see the /out:<filename> option in XDCMake reference. Also see the /old and /Fo command-line options for xdcmake.exe. |
| ProjectName | Optional String parameter. The name of the current project. |
| SlashOld | Optional Boolean parameter. If true, enables additional xdcmake.exe options.For more information, see the /old command-line option for xdcmake.exe. |
