Standard: Latest NETStandard.Library 2.0 NuGet package contains malformed XML docs

Created on 9 Sep 2019 · 6Comments · Source: dotnet/standard

This was reported in https://github.com/dotnet/standard/issues/666 but the issue was closed since the underlying problem had been resolved for 2.1 dev builds. However, the latest available 2.0 package on NuGet (version 2.0.3) still has a malformed netstandard.xml. Is it possible to get an updated 2.0 package published with corrected docs?

@ericstj do you know who owns this package? I can't tell if this repo has an actual triage process in place, and this has sat for quite a while without a response.

Is there a way I could rebuild this file myself using the updated tooling? Or a pre-release package somewhere with the updated xml?

You could just grab the XML from NETStandard2.1. VS uses metadata as source of truth for API, so "more" API in the XML file is not a problem. Here's where it is installed on my machine: C:\Program Files\dotnet\packs\NETStandard.Library.Ref\2.1.0\ref\netstandard2.1\netstandard.xml ; https://www.nuget.org/packages/NETStandard.Library.Ref/

@ericstj Thanks, I'll give that a try!

Edit: It worked out nicely, thanks again!
