How to get Documentation of method or class using Reflection? [duplicate]

Question

var className = typeof(Console);
var methodInfo = className.GetMethod("WriteLine",new [] { typeof(string) });

I got a methodInfo object for Writeline method , now if we see a defination of that method , it look like this .

//
        // Summary:
        //     Writes the specified string value, followed by the current line terminator,
        //     to the standard output stream.
        //
        // Parameters:
        //   value:
        //     The value to write.
        //
        // Exceptions:
        //   System.IO.IOException:
        //     An I/O error occurred.
        public static void WriteLine(string value);

what i want is getting the comments for a perticular method. , is there any way i can achieve this using Reflection ? or any other possible way ?

Answer 1

Comments are not compiled by the compiler into the result executable/dll (that's kind of the point of comments) and so they aren't available using reflection because they just don't exist outside of the original source code.

There's nothing you can do about it the data is just not there.
