Attributes and XML Documentation for method/property

Question

When I want to have an attribute and XML documentation for a method/property - what is the correct order to write them above the method/property?

This sounds so trivial, but...

If I use:

/// <summary> /// Something here /// </summary> [MyAttribute] public void MyMethod() {} 

Build is successful and ReSharper is "happy", but I don't see the documentation in IntelliSense for MyClass.MyMethod.

When I use:

[MyAttribute] /// <summary> /// Something here /// </summary> public void MyMethod() {} 

Build is successful but ReSharper has a warning (XML comment is not placed on a valid language element), and I still don't see the documentation in IntelliSense for MyClass.MyMethod.

I've searched the internet and see only examples where attributes are used without documentation; or documentation without attributes.

Is there really no way to have attributes and XML documentation for the same method/property?

Info: WPF application, .NET 4.0, C#.

Answer 1

Use the first case,

/// <summary> /// Something here /// </summary> [MyAttribute] public void MyMethod() {} 

Resharper likes it and it should give you Something here in Intellisense. When it doesn't then there is another problem to solve.
