CodeLens reference counter should NOT include references from /// comments for XML Documentation #40427

Open vsfeedback opened 4 years ago

vsfeedback commented 4 years ago

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

Reference counting should only be for actual Code and not mentions of classes, methods, properties, etc that exists in /// comments are part of the XML documentation. This misleads in the sense of the consumption of code.

Although it is true that when making name changes I expect the change to be reflected in /// comments as well, I would expect to have control of filtering out the number of times name is mentioned in a comment for XML documentation.

Users also want the ability to exclude test references from CodeLens. A option to control what is included in the CodeLens references should be able to exclude multiple types of references.
