RE: XML documentation file name

Hi Bob,

MSDN document on VB.NET Project Designer says "The Generate XML document
file property is set on the Compile page of the Project Designer. When this
option is selected, XML documentation is automatically emitted into an XML
file, which will have the same as your project and the .xml extension."

The MSDN document doesn't mention there's a setting for the name of the XML
document to be generated in VB.NET projects. I tried to find in the options
window(Tools|Options), and didn't find a setting for the name of the XML
document for VB.NET projects, either.

What application types are the projects in your solution, whose own XML
document's name is incorrect, Windows Application, Class Library or
something else?

In fact, when we select the 'Generate XML document file' option in the
Compile page of the Project Designer and then save the changes, the name of
the XML document to be generated is saved to the project file. Navigate to
the project file(.vbproj) in Windows Explorer and open the project file
with Notepad. You should see the name of the XML document in the
<DocumentationFile> tag within the <PropertyGroup> tag.

I think a workaround to your problem is to modifty the name of the XML
document in the project file with Notepad manually, and then build the
project.

Hope this helps.
If you have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.
