How to refer to enum constants in c# xml docs

Question

I want to document the default value of an enum typed field:

/// 

/// The default value is .
/// <         


        

Answer 1

The prefixes F, M and E are all valid and probably the reason that the compiler warning disappears.

You should however use the F that refers to fields. For more information on how Visual Studio generates documentation identifiers see:
