If i have the following function:
void ReadData(Action<DataContext> action) {}
how can i reference it in seealso construct?
<seealso cref="ReadData(Action<DataContext>)"/>
complains "The character '<' cannot be used in an attribute value". Changing '<' and '>' to '{' and '}' works but makes it open generic parameter.
<seealso cref="ReadData(Action{DataContext})"/>
From section A.3.1 of the C# 4 spec:
- Arguments that use generic type parameters defined on types are encoded using the backtick character followed by the zero-based index of the type parameter.
- Arguments that use generic type parameters defined in methods use a double-backtick instead of the single backtick used for types.
- Arguments that refer to constructed generic types are encoded using the generic type, followed by "{", followed by a comma-separated list of type arguments, followed by "}".
(I've written backtick explicitly rather than including the character due to markdown limitations.)
Of these, the last bullet point is what you're after, so Action{DataContext} as per Petar's answer. I only included this answer for extra reference, basically :)
