I have a project where I want to use route attributes with a custom type. The following code where I have the custom type as a query parameter works fine and the help page displays the custom type. // GET api/values?5,6 [Route("api/values")] public string Get(IntegerListParameter ids) { return "value"; } WebApi.HelpPage gives the following documentation Help:Page If I change the code to use route attributes, the result is that I get an empty help page. // GET api/values/5,6 [Route("api/values/{ids}")] public string Get(IntegerListParameter ids) { return "value"; } When I inspect the code I

I have followed the steps at MSDN , and other SO questions, to setup documenting and to have the XML comments show in the descriptions section of the help page. However, I am receiving errors when I try to build or run the project. Visual Studio 2017 no longer has the "Build" selection in properties. It has been replaced by the "Compile" section. While this section does have the "Generate XML documentation file" option, it does not have a XML documentation file location option (as in the MSDN directions). That being said, we know that the XmlDocumentProvider is looking for "~/App_Data

I want to go to http://myserver and be able to get Help Pages as the default home page, so the first thing a guest to http://myserver should see is the Help Page. I have a default route set up like this: public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) { routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); routes.MapRoute( name: "Default", url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}", defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } ); } Then I have my Help Page Area registration set up like this: public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)

I'm working on Developing a Web-API project, and i'm very impressed with the auto generated documentation by Microsoft's HelpPages. i enabled custom documentation using the official site creating Help Pages the documentation is generated successfully BUT none of the references to Classes from the <See cref=""> Tag seems to be added to the description, the HelpPages Simply ignores them (that's for a reason). i really wanted to have this feature in my project, i searched a lot (got close sometimes) but none gave a convincing answer. That's why i decided to post my solution to this tweak and

I have developed a number of internal REST interfaces using the older WCF framework in VS 2010. The ability for it to generate help pages was handy for DEV and QA platforms, but for a production release it was easy to disable the generation of these help pages in the web.config file: <standardEndpoint name="" helpEnabled="false" automaticFormatSelectionEnabled="true"/> I am now moving on to use the WebAPI framework instead (currently version 1 on VS 2012), but it doesn't appear to be as trivial to turn this feature off (i.e. I can't find any information on how to do this in a web.config file).

I have different plugins in my Web api project with their own XML docs, and have one centralized Help page, but the problem is that Web Api's default Help Page only supports single documentation file new XmlDocumentationProvider(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/Documentation.xml")) How is it possible to load config from different files? I wan to do sth like this: new XmlDocumentationProvider("PluginsFolder/*.xml") You can modify the installed XmlDocumentationProvider at Areas\HelpPage to do something like following: Merge multiple Xml document files into a single one: Example
