c# - Use separate file to extend documentation -

i using doxygen document huge projects written in c#. existing documentation in these projects should not changed.

is there way extend existing documentation , provide doxygen commands classes or methods in separate file?

for example, lets there class viewmodel.cs, documented this:

/// <summary> /// defines viewmodel can bound treelist control. /// </summary> public abstract class viewmodel : iviewmodel {     /// <summary>     /// gets root elements displayed in treelist.     /// </summary>     public observablecollection<itreenode> elements { get; protected set; } } 

is there way create separate file (.dox) linked class , extends existing documentation? e.g. group class specific module \ingroup command.

to knowledge, no such tool exists. c# uses assemblies , namespaces conceptual grouping of apis. defining manual grouping separately serve confuse users familiar language.

for best results, should use c# documentation comments along latest release of sandcastle file builder or my fork of project (which uses different presentation style). these tools more cleanly integrated visual studio, , work continues on features intellisense extensions , code completion within documentation comments (roslyn+shfb quite still want see further improved). following page shows recent documentation build using latter:
