#16 Doxycomment for C#

[mynewsletter]

It would be great if Doxycomment supported C# language.
Please consider adding support for C# (*.cs) files. Currently clicks on the plugin buttons gives such an error in the Oubput window:
"Error: Document 'filename.cs' has wrong languge."

Sorry, I'm not a developer member, but I'm wondering why you need this feature.

You can use the built in XML scripting that VisualStudio provided (just typing /// before a code element generate a template code block), and document generator tools like Doxgen and Sandcastle accept that XML comments for input.

I wasn't using VS for some time. I steel use doxygen to generate documentation.

I would like to have DoxyComment in c# because:
- I have no button for file comment. /// do not work for file comment in my C#.
- When I add /// to method then I have no method parameter types. DoxyComment did that.
- I don't know how with <see> make HyperLinks. @see works as expected. Currently I have to do that:

/// \<summary>
/// ABC
/// \</summary>
/// \<param name="sender"></param>
/// \<param name="e"></param>
/// @see http://sourceforge.net

which works gut it is a mixture XML and doxygen.

If DoxyComment works with VC++ why not with c#?

PS. Without "\" of course.

I'm sorry about I have no permission to do that by the original author Troels Gram.

But I tried to add C# functionality to DoxyComment and managed to do it.
(Thanks to DoxyComment's good design/implementation and VisualStudio's powerful Extention feature).

It's just a prototype and does not have production quality, but works fine.

Now I can add file comment, dump code element, add code element for C#'s namespace, class, interface, struct, enum, enum value, function, delegate, event and property.

Here is a patch.
I hope that original author would accept it.

Can you upload your whole CSTestProvider Project?

Do you need CSTestProvider Project only?
Here it is.

I created a patch again for trunk r152.
I tested applying the patch to r152 and succeeded.
Please use this patch.

I confirm, the patch to revision 152 works. Thanks!
