Description

ISSUES/TODO

• Integration tests missing
• impl for attaching comments.xml missing moved to NPANDAY-634
• created subtasks

Original Description

The comments.xml file generated during CSharp compilation needs to be shipped to developers for use in Visual Studio, similar to the javadoc artifact produced by Maven for Java projects.

This is not currently attached as an artifact during the NPanday build for dotnet-library.
