Research direction

Start by reproducing the DocsPortingTool command shown with the System.Net.Http assembly and the listed XML and IntelliSense paths. Investigate how the ToDocs command maps the two generic HttpRequestOptions methods, using the referenced runtime pull request for the source signatures. Done means both methods map automatically to their XML documentation files.

Description

port-to-docs

When I worked on https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-api-docs/pull/7129 the DocsPortingTool didn't map some methods to xml files. I had to do it manually.

  • M:System.Net.Http.HttpRequestOptions.TryGetValue``1(System.Net.Http.HttpRequestOptionsKey{``0},``0@)
  • M:System.Net.Http.HttpRequestOptions.Set``1(System.Net.Http.HttpRequestOptionsKey{``0},``0)

The command I used was DocsPortingTool -Direction ToDocs -Docs c:\Dev\dotnet-api-docs\xml -IntelliSense C:\dev\runtime\artifacts\bin\System.Net.Http\ -IncludedAssemblies System.Net.Http -IncludedNamespaces System.Net.Http -Save true on this code https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/58896/files
