XML documentation comments

    I spent the morning hacking on XML documentation comments for the web service I have been working on for the last six months. The goal is to have user documentation for the API auto-magically generated from XML comments in the code. Remembering that this is all being done with Visual Studio 2003, I must say that I am finding the XML documentation comment support a little half baked. There's no support for C++. You can't get to the XML comments content via reflection. There doesn't seem to be a way to add a seealso to a different method in a class (just members as best as I can tell from the documentation).

    I'm told a bunch of this gets better in Whidbey. Here's hoping.
