Vsxmd complains about `Resources.Designer.cs` (auto-generated file) not having XML comments

[astrohart]

Hi,

This is actually a compound issue:

• Vsxmd generates Warning CS1591 Missing XML comment for publicly visible type or member for code elements in my Resources.Designer.cs file even though it is an auto-generated file (meaning, as you add/remove resources to/from your project, Visual Studio writes the code in this file for you)
• Furthermore, there ARE XML doc comments in this file -- for instance:

  
  //------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  // <auto-generated>
  //     This code was generated by a tool.
  //     Runtime Version:4.0.30319.42000
  //
  //     Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost if
  //     the code is regenerated.
  // </auto-generated>
  //------------------------------------------------------------------------------

using System;

namespace MyApp.Properties { ///

/// A strongly-typed resource class, for looking up localized strings, etc. ///

// This class was auto-generated by the StronglyTypedResourceBuilder // class via a tool like ResGen or Visual Studio. // To add or remove a member, edit your .ResX file then rerun ResGen // with the /str option, or rebuild your VS project. [global::System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.Resources.Tools.StronglyTypedResourceBuilder", "16.0.0.0")] [global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()] [global::System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CompilerGeneratedAttribute()] public class Resources {

    private static global::System.Resources.ResourceManager resourceMan;

    private static global::System.Globalization.CultureInfo resourceCulture;

    [global::System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute("Microsoft.Performance", "CA1811:AvoidUncalledPrivateCode")]

    /// <summary>

    public Resources()
    {
    }

    /// <summary>

    /// </summary>
    [global::System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableAttribute(global::System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState.Advanced)]
    public static global::System.Resources.ResourceManager ResourceManager
    {
        get
        {
            if (object.ReferenceEquals(resourceMan, null))
            {
                global::System.Resources.ResourceManager temp = new global::System.Resources.ResourceManager("MyApp.Properties.Resources", typeof(Resources).Assembly);
                resourceMan = temp;
            }
            return resourceMan;
        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    ///   Overrides the current thread's CurrentUICulture property for all
    ///   resource lookups using this strongly typed resource class.
    /// </summary>
    [global::System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableAttribute(global::System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState.Advanced)]
    public static global::System.Globalization.CultureInfo Culture
    {
        get
        {
            return resourceCulture;
        }
        set
        {
            resourceCulture = value;
        }
    }
}

}

As you can see, there clearly ARE the XML Doc comments that the warning is complaining about.  Therefore, the issue is Vsxmd triggering erroneous warnings.

My point in filing this issue is, that the Resources.Designer.cs file is auto-generated, and thus, fixing the things that Vsxmd is complaining about is pointless -- the file will just be regenerated on the next build, and my changes will go away.

Can't reproduce, this only seems to be occurring in some of my solutions.
