Simplify your XML Comments!

GhostDoc is a free Visual Studio extension that automatically generates XML documentation comments for methods and properties based on their type, parameters, name, and other contextual information.

When generating documentation for class derived from a base class or for interface implementation (e.g. .NET Framework or your custom framework), GhostDoc will use the documentation that Microsoft or the framework vendor has already written for the base class or interface.

SubMain has recently acquired GhostDoc. We will continue to maintain and distribute the product free of charge. We will be improving GhostDoc and we always welcome the community feedback. If you have ideas, please post them in the GhostDoc forum. Roland Weigelt is the original author of GhostDoc and his web site can be found at http://roland-weigelt.de/.

  • Save keystrokes and time
  • Simplify documenting your code
  • Benefit of the base class documentation

If you follow good naming conventions in your code, then you will get very decent results on the summary GhostDoc generates.  When I see code that is not documented, it is as simple as hit Ctrl-Shift-D to have GhostDoc document it.
