CompiledAssemblyApiOptions Pennington.ApiMetadata.Reflection

Options for CompiledAssemblyApiMetadataProvider.

Properties

AssemblyDirectories IList<string>
Directories to scan for *.dll files with matching *.xml xmldoc files. Every matched pair in each directory contributes types to the provider. Use this when every .dll in the folder is intended for documentation — the typical NuGet lib/<tfm>/ layout.
AssemblyFiles IList<string>
Explicit .dll paths to document. Use this when a folder contains more assemblies than you want documented (e.g. dependencies copied alongside the target for MetadataLoadContext resolution). The companion .xml file is loaded from the same directory. When both AssemblyDirectories and AssemblyFiles are set, both contribute.
