    [PSS 2015][Bug] XML Help for custom DLL failing

    Post by Bosparan »

    PSS Version: 2015 4.2.99
    OS Version: Windows 10 x64
    WMF Version: 5.0

    Impact: Denial of great development help

    Symptom:
    Some time back I've been asking to get the help text from the C# code we develop in VS. The answer was to simply include the XML help generated by visual studio, which ought to work. Recently I've been trying to get this to work, however ...
    When I create a simple sample project, it does work as intended. However when I want to include our main libraries' XML (650KB / 9235 lines) it fails with an InvalidCastException: Can't convert an object of type "System.Xml.XmlComment" to type "System.Xml.XmlElement".
    The types load and I (briefly) get primal sense for them, however each time it provides that primal sense it will throw the exception.
    This persists until I remove the Xml file and restart PSS.

    Further description:
    Unfortunately I cannot send you the originals (Company Policy), however I've found the triggering cause:
    Under some circumstances, Visual Studio will add a comment into the XML file (using standard xml commenting). These appear to be the cause of this error, as removing them will make Primal Sense work as intended with full documentation.
    Thus I'd like to request you patch the parser to simply ignore comments, rather than blindly attempt to force all types.

    Attached the full Exception Information:
    Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.txt)
    1. System.InvalidCastException: Das Objekt des Typs "System.Xml.XmlComment" kann nicht in Typ "System.Xml.XmlElement" umgewandelt werden.
