关于ASP.NET Web Api的HelpPage文档注释问题

以前我用微软的HelpPage来自动生成的webAPI帮助文档。在使用了一段时间后发现只能显示Controller上面写的注释文档内容。以前总以为是微软这个类库的bug。后来才明白了是由于我的设置不当。

我们可以很清楚的看到，返回的`AlarmRecodrdDto`并没有注释文档啊！可是我已经在类库的中写过了该代码的注释的。为毛就没有呢？？？

其实啊，我们的注释文档是自动生成xml文件，再由HelpPage来读取该xml中的注释信息，最后展示在页面上。那些没有注释的文档是由于我们的代码注释没有生成对应的注释xml文件，所以就没法读取啦！！！

明白问题出在哪里了就可以动手解决问题了！！！

1. 设置指定类库中要生成的注释xml路径

2. 添加一个可以读取xml文件信息的类

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Web.Http.Controllers;
using System.Web.Http.Description;
using GTCASP.Website.Areas.HelpPage.ModelDescriptions;

namespace GTCASP.Website.Areas.HelpPage.Models
{
    ///

    ///

    ///

        /*********

        ///

        private readonly XmlDocumentationProvider[] Providers;

        }

            return this.Providers
                .Select(expr)
                .FirstOrDefault(p => !String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(p));
        }
    }
}

请将类添加到如下位置

3. 修改HelpPageConfig.cs中的代码。

做完以上设置后，大功告成。妹子，现在我们可以出去玩啦！！！

咦，妹子人呢？
