Ways to synchronize interface and implementation comments in C# [closed]

Answer 1

I usually write comments like this:

/// <summary>
/// Implements <see cref="IMyInterface.Foo(string, int)"/>
/// </summary>
/// <returns></returns>

The methods are used only by the interface, so this comment is not even shown in tooltips when coding.

Edit:

If you want to see docs when you call the class directly and not using the interface, you need to write it twice or use a tool like GhostDoc.

Answer 2

Don't do that. Think of it this way - if both comments are required to be the same all the time, then one of them isn't necessary. There has to be a reason for the comment (besides some kind of weird obligation to comment-block every function and variable) so you need to figure out what that unique reason is and document that.

Answer 3

With ReSharper you can copy it, but I don't think that it is in sync all the time.
