Web API 实体显示注释

我看园子里关于Web API的注释都是关于方法的，并没有显示实体注释的方法，今天花了一些时间搞了一下

其实注释的显示就是根据类库的XML文档文件生成的。

首先你要将所用到的类库生成XML文档文件：

在HelpPageConfig这个类中修改如下，添加多个用到的类库XML文件，原来只能添加一个

MultipleXmlDocumentationProvider代码，和XmlDocumentationProvider基本类似

/// <summary>
/// 多个XML注释
/// </summary>
public class MultipleXmlDocumentationProvider : IDocumentationProvider, IModelDocumentationProvider
{
    private IList<XPathNavigator> _documentNavigators;
    private const string TypeExpression = "/doc/members/member[@name='T:{0}']";
    private const string MethodExpression = "/doc/members/member[@name='M:{0}']";
    private const string PropertyExpression = "/doc/members/member[@name='P:{0}']";
    private const string FieldExpression = "/doc/members/member[@name='F:{0}']";
    private const string ParameterExpression = "param[@name='{0}']";

    /// <summary>
    /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="XmlDocumentationProvider"/> class.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="documentPaths">List of physical paths to XML documents.</param>
    public MultipleXmlDocumentationProvider(params string[] documentPaths)
    {
        if (!documentPaths.Any())
        {
            throw new ArgumentNullException("documentPaths");
        }

        //读取全部XML文档
        var documents = documentPaths.Where(p => File.Exists(p)).ToList();

        _documentNavigators = documents.Select(p => new XPathDocument(p).CreateNavigator()).ToList();
    }

    public string GetDocumentation(HttpControllerDescriptor controllerDescriptor)
    {
        XPathNavigator typeNode = GetTypeNode(controllerDescriptor.ControllerType);
        return GetTagValue(typeNode, "summary");
    }

    public virtual string GetDocumentation(HttpActionDescriptor actionDescriptor)
    {

            if (methodNode != null)

                string parameterName = reflectedParameterDescriptor.ParameterInfo.Name;
                XPathNavigator parameterNode = methodNode.SelectSingleNode(String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, ParameterExpression, parameterName));
                if (parameterNode != null)
                {
                    return parameterNode.Value.Trim();
                }
            }
        }

        return null;
    }
