it's slightly off topic but I used Doxygen for my Hexagon Library written in c# [0] and was quite content with it - aside from Generic Classes with Different Parameters ( GenericClass<T> and GenericClass<T1,T2> ) not working properly - maybe I just was too stupid. I liked the ease of use compared to the other code doc generators I tried. However rendered comments inside the IDE would be so much better, it's kind of crazy when I think about it that that is not a feature of Visual Studio (but a 3D-Editor is...)

That's a well-written and nicely organized documentation, congrats :)

Btw., I'm now working on a C# support for this documentation theme, but by using XMLDoc directly instead of Doxygen (and thus also with none of its bugs). See here: https://github.com/mosra/m.css/issues/76

For the IDE docs integration, I know about QHP (by Qt), which is supported by QtCreator, KDevelop and has a VS support using the Qt VS Tools plugin. But that's C++. Weird that VS doesn't have something similar builtin for C#...

FYI: Resharper can render XML comments (place the cursor on the symbol of interest and hit CTRL+SHIFT+F1). This includes the entire comment, not just the <summary> section.
