ASP.NET Web API Help Page documentation using Xml comments on controllers

Question

I installed the ASP.NET Web API Help Page package and would like to use it to generate documentation for my API controller actions using the Xml comments already on them.

Answer 1

The XmlDocumentationProvider is looking for the xml file(having your xml code comments) which gets generated when you compile your project. You can enable generating this by going to your project Properties -> Build -> Output. Here select the checkbox for XML Documentation file.
