GitHub Copilot is integrated into IDE (Visual Studio) as an interactive assistant (chat console) that allows XML comments generation for a given contextual scope (i.e. selected method or entire controller).
Example :
- set contextual scope to the appropriate controller : # AttachmentLinksController.cs
- ask the Copilot to generate XML comments : "generate document comments including response codes and producesresponsetype"
- ask the Copilot to add more detailed remarks : "add remarks to existing document coments, containing more detailed explanation of the method purpose"
