GhostDoc is a Visual Studio extension that automatically generates XML documentation comments for methods and properties based on their type, parameters, name, and other contextual information.
When generating documentation for a class derived from a base class or for interface implementation (e.g. .NET Framework or your custom framework), GhostDoc will use the documentation that Microsoft or the framework vendor has already written for the base class or interface.
Benefits
- Save keystrokes and time
- Simplify documenting your code
- Benefit of the base class documentation
If you follow good naming conventions in your code, then you will get very decent results on the summary GhostDoc generates. When you see code that is not documented, it is as simple as hitting Ctrl + Shift + D to have GhostDoc document it.
Editions
In addition to standard features the free version GhostDoc offers, there is a GhostDoc Pro alternative which provides ultimate documentation configuration flexibility and automation of routine documentation operations.
