Missing swagger REST descriptions for Web Api

Question

I followed the guide here: http://bitoftech.net/2014/08/25/asp-net-web-api-documentation-using-swagger/

I put in the following XML comments:

    /// <summary>
    /// Add new student
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="student">Student Model</param>
    /// <remarks>Insert new student</remarks>
    /// <response code="400">Bad request</response>
    /// <response code="500">Internal Server Error</response>

Why do I not get any descriptions? The response codes don't show up either.

Enable XML documentation for your subproject (from project properties / build) like you have for your Web API project. Except this time, route it directly to XmlDocument.xml so that it gets generated in your project's root folder.
