Uncomment not working for XML comment lines in C #

vsfeedback commented 3 years ago

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

[severity:It bothers me. A fix would be nice] When uncommenting XML comment style lines in a C# file (starting with 3 slashes /// ) then only 2 slashes are removed. For example:

        /// <summary>
        /// Prevents a default instance of the <see cref="ConfigurationHandler" /> class from being created.
        /// </summary>
        private ConfigurationHandler() {}

leaves me with:

    / <summary>
    / Prevents a default instance of the <see cref="ConfigurationHandler" /> class from being created.
    / </summary>
    private ConfigurationHandler() {}

Which is totally useless.

To repro: insert XML style comments to any method, select the lines with 3 slashes, press Ctrl+K, Ctrl+U (or select "uncomment lines" from Edit/Advanced)

I've marked this as Need Proposal prior to design review. The behavior of removing all three / would be equally meaningless, as the contents of an XML comment are not valid code.

I agree with @sharwell here. It's not clear when or why this would actually come up, or what the desired behavior would need to be.

Closing out due to lack of reasonable design and feedback.
