Question

Is there a standard convention (like phpdoc or python\'s docstring) for commenting C# code so that class documentation can be automatically generated from the source code?

Answer 1

I was always told to use block comments opened with 2 or more asterisks do delimit documentation comments.

/**
Documentation goes here.
(flowerboxes optional) 
*/
