❔ Getting documentation from another class and putting it in another one

Title is probably very confusing, but I'm asking if theres a way to do this

/// <summary>
/// This is Class A;
/// </summary>
class A { }

/// grab Class A's documentation
class B { }

/// <summary>
/// This is Class A;
/// </summary>
class A { }

/// grab Class A's documentation
class B { }

so basically if i hover over B, it'll show me A's documentation i also don't wanna copy paste in case I make changes to A's documentation

Is cref="ref" necessary? What happens if you don't include it?

Thinker•15mo ago

cref="ref" indicates what to inherit the doc from

Azrael•15mo ago

I know. But is it necessary?

Thinker•15mo ago

If you want to inherit the doc from something which isn't the parent class, yes

Azrael•15mo ago

Alright.

Or if it's a class with one interface and no parent, it can inherit from that without it
