XML documentation file name

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Hi all,

I have a VS 2005 SP1 Visual Basic solution that creates a bunch of
assemblies (both main programs and DLLs). All of the projects have
"Generate XML documentation file" selected on the Compile tab of the My
Project designer. Now here's the weird part that I need help with: 2 of
the 8 projects generate XML documentation in a file whose name is identical
to the assembly name (plus a .XML extension) as expected. The other 6
generate XML documentation in files whose name does not match the assembly
name. When I reference one of those 6 assemblies from another solution, I
don't get intellisense because VS doesn't find a matching .XML file.

How does VS decide on a name to give to the XML documentation file that it
creates? Is there some setting somewhere that I'm not stumbling across?

TIA - Bob
