1.0 添加WEB API項目並按註釋生成文檔（多項目結構）

1.新建ASP.NET 項目，模板選擇如圖 2.選擇Web API，並選擇不進行身份驗證方式成功後我們看到這個結果。至於其它三種身份驗證方式，不太適合我的使用。而且這種方式也可以在代碼里去實現身份驗證，比較符合已有資料庫的情況，這裡不寫。 3.給項目進行配置修改 3.1 修改對應項目生成路徑。 ...

1.新建ASP.NET 項目，模板選擇如圖

2.選擇Web API，並選擇不進行身份驗證方式

成功後我們看到這個結果。

至於其它三種身份驗證方式，不太適合我的使用。而且這種方式也可以在代碼里去實現身份驗證，比較符合已有資料庫的情況，這裡不寫。

3.給項目進行配置修改

3.1 修改對應項目生成路徑。

這是單項目結構的，如果有多個項目並且有引用，把其它項目生成XML的地址改為介面項目的地址，當然也可以生成後再拷貝過去。

3.2修改WebAPITest\Areas\HelpPage\App_Start\HelpPageConfig.cs裡面的代碼。

反註釋

 config.SetDocumentationProvider(new XmlDocumentationProvider(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/XmlDocument.xml")));

　　裡面的文檔改成我們上面生成的文檔名稱，打開help介面就能看到註釋了。

如果是引用了多個項目，就麻煩點。

先把剛剛這句改一下

 config.SetDocumentationProvider(new XmlDocumentationProvider(
    HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data")));

　　看見XmlDocumentationProvider這個類沒有？轉到定義過去看看
