How do I automatically generate documentation/comments in Monodevelop?

Monodevelop automatically generates verbose documentation for functions and classes if "///" is typed in the appropriate place, upon typing the third '/'.

I want it to go over all of my code, though - I thought there was some button somewhere, and I looked around in the drop-down menus, tried right-clicking file names, etc. I could not find such an option - does it not exist? I could not find a plugin that does that either.

Try to use Edit-> Document buffer.

It will make /// comments for all your public methods/classes without any comment upon it in current file.

It won't work if you have // comment upon method/class or for protected/private elements.

It is not possible. Your options are:

  • Manually typing three slashes before each and every function
  • Using an external tool

Online searches have not come up with any plugins for monodevelop that would do that, and the option does not exist in the vanilla IDE.
