.asmx Web Service Documentation

问题

I'd like my summary, param info, returns info, etc (listed below) to show up on the standard help page that .net generates for .asmx web services.

/// <summary>
/// Brief description
/// </summary>
/// <param name="fakeParamOne">Fake Param One Description</param>
/// <returns>Bool representing foo</returns>

The only thing that I've tried that affected the auto-generated help page in any way was this:

[WebMethod(Description = "Does awesome things.")]

I'm sure I'm missing something VERY simple (or it's not possible to do what I want). Any suggestions?

Like @John Saunders comment mentioned there's not really an automatic way to use the XML method comments to show up in the WSDL Help, but there are a couple of alternatives to get what you're looking for.

WebMethod Description attribute can be set to be formatted HTML

Here's an example:

const string someWebMethodDescription = @"
<table>
    <tr>
        <td>Summary:</td><td>[My Summary]</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Parameters:</td><td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>fakeParam:</td><td>[My Fake Param Description]</td>
    </tr>
</table>";

[WebMethod(Description=someWebMethodDescription)]
public List<string> SomeWebMethod

Where the result is:

Alternatively, to create a custom WSDL Help Page

<configuration>
   <system.web>
      <webServices>
         <wsdlHelpGenerator href="docs/HelpPage.aspx"/>
      </webServices>
   </system.web>
</configuration>
