Note

Visual Studio 2008 makes use of the 

partial

keyword to partition code generated by the IDE’s designer

tools (such as various GUI designers). Using this approach, you can keep focused on your current solution, and be

blissfully unaware of the designer-generated code.

Documenting C# Source Code via XML

The final task of this chapter is to examine a specific way to comment your code that yields XML-

based code documentation. If you have worked with the Java programming language, you may be

familiar with the javadoc utility. Using javadoc, you are able to turn Java source code into a corre-

sponding HTML representation (provided the *.java file contains the correct code comment

syntax). The C# documentation model is slightly different, in that the code-comments-to-XML con-

version process is the job of the C# compiler (via the /doc option) rather than a stand-alone utility.
