I have installed Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.HelpPage to my web api 2 project and can successfully output the /help pages.
One thing i cant seem to get going however is getting it to generate the xml comment documentation i have added to classes that are referenced in a separate project. So for instance my web api controller comments all appear fine. However in project x that is referenced in the web api project i have classes that have XML documentation applied but none of these appear in the /help files.
I know i can set the web api xml document file to be referenced in HelpPageConfig.cs
config.SetDocumentationProvider(new XmlDocumentationProvider(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/XmlDocument.xml")));
How can i get the generator to pick up XML files from other referenced projects as well or this is a current limitation of the api explorer tool?
Thanks
