It sounds like you are trying to describe two separate problems.

2 solutions

Solution 2

In addition to Solution 1:

Also, look at project Properties in different configurations. By default, a project template creates two configurations for you, "Debug" and "Release", and, also by default, XML comments are enabled in first configuration and disabled in the second one. You can edit any configuration and enable or disable this feature, but remember that those comments can only be useful for development, not for the deployment.

"those comments can only be useful for development, not for the deployment"
Unless your dll is a framework's one :)

As regards XML comments, you must remember that they are not stored in the DLL.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/b2s063f7(v=vs.100).aspx[^]

If you didn't create the XML file when you compiled the DLL, then you'll need to do so and keep it in the same directory as the DLL.
Remember that your project may copy the DLL to its own directory and then it won't be able to find the XML file, so you'll need to work around that.
