Reflection for Comments?

I have a .NET DLL and .PDB and .XML. Is there a way to get the XML
comments from a given piece of code via a Type's Reflection on itself?

Thanks.

No - the framework itself has no concept of the XML comments as far as
I'm aware.
 
Hi Lucius,

Please see following MSDN Magazine article:

#.NET Matters: XML Comments, Late-bound COM, and More -- MSDN Magazine,
June 2004
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/06/NETMatters/
There are no classes in the .NET Framework written specifically for the
purpose of mining and working with these XML comments, but functionality
exposed from the System.Xml namespace can be used to make that task quite
straightforward. In fact, in the code download for this column I've
included a class that lets you use the syntax you've described.


Hope this helps.
