Can you please suggest me a free VS tool which generates code documentation like that:
private int CalcBid(HandCards hand, int player)
|
|

Seems the community edition is free all others paid.

Thank you.
Looks good but does not catch my return value?
public List<PlayingCard> GetHandTrumpCards(int TrumpCardID)
{
var lopc = new List<PlayingCard>();
foreach (PlayingCard card in Cards)
{
if ((int)card.CardType == TrumpCardID | (int)card.CardValue == 2 | (int)card.CardValue == 3)
{
lopc.Add(card);
}
}
return lopc;
}
|

Check what config options it has.

Probably not an options thing.
It just does not fill the return section.
The GhostDoc Comment editor shows:

public List<playingcard> GetHandTrumpCards(
int TrumpCardID
)
Parameters
TrumpCardIDType: Int32
The trump card identifier.
Return Value
|

The return value is not uniquely named. A method may have several return statements, and the values may be expressions, possibly different expression for each of several returns.
The tool could of course create a list of all return statements. The same that you can obtain by a string search. I am not sure how useful that would be.

Do you say it works only for
return value;

I never used this tool, but OP presents an example where it doesn't catch his 'return lopc;', leaving only
in the 'documentation'.
I am one of those who likes to get out of here as soon as the job is done; I detest the 'single exit point' style that could increase the block nesting level by half a dozen or more. In other words: Some methods can have half a dozen or more return statements.
You might want to have them all listed above the method prototype; I think it messes it up. With several exits, the reason for leading to that exit is frequently far more essential than the exit value - especially if it is in the class of 'success' or 'failure'! Seeing four 'return failure' and two 'return success' in the documentation is not really informative. Seeing 'return lopc' makes very little sense until you have studied the actual code, seeing how lopc is built, but then you hardly need the documentation telling that lopc is returned!
If you use the template for filling in a brief explanation of what it takes to succeed, or in this case, what is the semantics of the subset of cards returned: Fine. I assume it applies to all the return statements, if there are several.
Also, those insisting on 'single exit point' must refrain from coding any exception that might propagate out of the method. That would be an exit not through that 'single exit point', so trusting that you can catch everything immediately before your single 'return' is fooling yourself.

No I did not, because I was not aware of it.
Thank will try it.

this processes existing comments.
it does not create the comments themselves.

|

Of course it does, it needs the comments to convert them to document format. Which is what the OP asked for in his question.

This is not code documentation, these are just unnecessary comments

Extremely necessary if you want your SPICE or ASPICE certification.

If those comments/methods are in a class library those comments could be very helpful to folks using that library.

The autogenerated comments will just tell you what you already see from the name and types. Documentation is for the things you can't see directly.
Personally my preferce is not having the autogenerated comment, then you do not need to waste time finding out if it tells you anything or not.

I took this to be a framework for filling in you more descriptive comments, such as <param name="hand" />Set of cards currently held by 'bidder'
(I can imagine even more helpful explanations that this, especially if I knew more of the context.)
Without any explanation, just formatting the method prototype in a different layout, is meaningless.

The crusade against comments wields a rusty pin and calls it a sword.

Doesn't triple clicking "/" in VS generate the comment block?

VS refuses return info as well for me.
And comment "Nons the trump cards." is pointless.
public static string NonTrumpCards(HandCards hand, int TrumpID)
{
return hand.GetHandExTrumpString(TrumpID);
}

Is installed now but I do not see a menu item or context menu item for starting it.
What do I miss?
