.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / IDE / April 2008VS2008 bug?
In VS2008 Pro: For example if my dll file name is "MyCompany.MyLib.dll" the documentation file ends up as "MyCompany.xml" and I expect "MyCompany.MyLib.xml" This used to work fine until 2008. This is using VB projects, not sure about C#. Any ideas whats going on? Thanks, Schneider Hello Schneider, VS IDE outputs xml file as [ProjectName].xml. You can also specify it in Project|Build Project. I have tried it on my VS 2008. It seems fine. If I create a project named MyCompany.MyLib, the output xml will be "MyCompany.MyLib.XML". I do the steps as below: 1) Create a C# library project named "MyCompany.MyLib" 2) Right-Click on Project in Solution Explorer, and select "Properties" in context menu. 3) Navigate to "Build" tab, checked the box named "XML Documentation File" 4) The filename appeared in textbox is "bin\Debug\MyCompany.MyLib.XML". Am I missing anything here? I cannot reproduce your issue on my side... Have a great day, Best regards, Wen Yuan Microsoft Online Community Support Delighting our customers is our #1 priority.

Try a VB.NET project. There is no filename textbox. Schneider > Hello Schneider, > [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] > This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no > rights. Hello Schneider, Thanks for your reply. (sorry, I didn't test with VB project yesterday. I missed your important information...). Now, I have tried with VB.net project. There is no filename textbox besides "Generate XML Document" checkbox. But, on my side, after building the project, you noticed the output filename is really "MyCompany.MyLib.xml". I still cannot reproduce the issue. Does this issue occur for each VB project on your VS 2008? Actually, the xml document information is stored in project file. If you right-click on .vbproj file, you will notice there is a line specified the output xml name. <DocumentationFile>MyCompany.MyLib3.xml</DocumentationFile> VS doesn't provide feature to modify xml filename for VB project in UI. But we can edit it in .vbproj file directly. You can check if the file name in project file is what you need. If not, you can change it to anything you need. Hope this helps. If you have any more concern, please feel free to let us know. It's my pleasure to assist you.

Thats great, I will try that tonight. I think it should work, assuming whatever changed it, does not change it again. Maybe a VS2005 to 2008 Proj upgrade issue? Thanks, Schneider > Hello Schneider, > Thanks for your reply. [quoted text clipped - 48 lines] > This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no > rights. I confirmed that this work-around works, be sure to notepad; wordpad will corrupt the file. Thanks, Schneider > Thats great, I will try that tonight. > I think it should work, assuming whatever changed it, does not change it [quoted text clipped - 63 lines] >> This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no >> rights. Hello Schneider, Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure if this is a VS 2005 to VS 2008 project upgrade issue. I have tried it on my side, but failed on repro. Anyway, I will log it in our DB for product team to investigate. Maybe we can submit a request to support modifying output document filename in VB project. Thereby, we can rename the output document easier when necessary. I'm glad to hear my work around works on your side. It seems you have resolved the issue now. Do you have any more concern? or there is anything you feel we can help with? Please feel free to let us know.
