XML documentation

Jay,

Thanks a lot for the info.  I mentioned the performance issue because the background compiler performance is already a significant issue in my project(s) and I assume that enabling XML documentation would only make things worse.  It also seems that the compile times would be longer if I generate XML documentation files.  Is this not the case or were you only referring to the BC in regards to performance?

Another issue at this point is that I have 1000's of comments that I created using VB Commenter.  Many (perhaps most) of these are invalid because there was no enforcement in VS2003 and I only used the comments as a documentation tool.  I found VB Commenter to be an excellent documentation tool, even though I never generated an XML documentation file.  It would be very nice if there was a way for me to continue to add XML documentation without warnings being generated from my previous comments.  As it is now, I must turn off XML documentation so that the Warnings list is not flooded by irrelevant messages.  Otherwise, I'm concerned that I might miss a warning that would have an adverse affect on my app.  I hope that some day I will be able to go back and clean up all of my previous comments.  But, realistically, I'm not sure when or if that will happen.

Thanks again,
Lance
