asp.net mvc 4 - Web API Help pages - customizing Property documentation -

i have web api , added web api pages auto-generate documentation. it's working great methods parameters listed out, have method this:

public sessionresult postlogin(createsessioncommand request) 

and, on page, listing command parameter in properties section. however, in sample request section, lists out of properties of createsessioncommand class.

parameters

name | description | additional information

request | no documentation available. | define parameter in request body.

i instead list of properties in createsessioncommand class. there easy way this?

this should go addition @josh answer. if want not list properties model class, include documentation each property, areas/helppage/xmldocumentationprovider.cs file should modified follows:

public virtual string getdocumentation(httpparameterdescriptor parameterdescriptor) {     reflectedhttpparameterdescriptor reflectedparameterdescriptor = parameterdescriptor reflectedhttpparameterdescriptor;     if (reflectedparameterdescriptor != null)     {         if (reflectedparameterdescriptor.parameterinfo customparameterinfo)         {             const string propertyexpression = "/doc/members/member[@name='p:{0}']";             var pi = (customparameterinfo) reflectedparameterdescriptor.parameterinfo;              string selectexpression = string.format(cultureinfo.invariantculture, propertyexpression, pi.prop.declaringtype.fullname + "." + pi.prop.name);              xpathnavigator methodnode = _documentnavigator.selectsinglenode(selectexpression);             if (methodnode != null)             {                 return methodnode.value.trim();             }         }         else         {             xpathnavigator methodnode = getmethodnode(reflectedparameterdescriptor.actiondescriptor);             if (methodnode != null)             {                 string parametername = reflectedparameterdescriptor.parameterinfo.name;                 xpathnavigator parameternode = methodnode.selectsinglenode(string.format(cultureinfo.invariantculture, parameterexpression, parametername));                 if (parameternode != null)                 {                     return parameternode.value.trim();                 }             }                             }     }      return null; } 

and customparameterinfo class should keep property info well:

internal class customparameterinfo : parameterinfo {     public propertyinfo prop { get; private set; }      public customparameterinfo(propertyinfo prop)     {         prop = prop;         base.nameimpl = prop.name;     } }
