Missing xml-comments in metadata for C# api

Describe the bug Missing xml-comments in metadata for the C# api

What area is it related to SwedishPersonalIdentityNumber.TryParse and SwedishPersonalIdentityNumber.TryParseInSpecificYear

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Try to view xml-comments for the above mentioned methods, for example by hovering on the method names.

In the source code the methods have xml-comments:

    /// <summary>
    /// Converts the string representation of the personal identity number to its <see cref="SwedishPersonalIdentityNumber"/> equivalent  and returns a value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="s">A string representation of the Swedish personal identity number to parse.</param>
    /// <param name="parseResult">If valid, an instance of <see cref="SwedishPersonalIdentityNumber"/></param>
    static member TryParse((s : string), [<Out>] parseResult : SwedishPersonalIdentityNumberCSharp byref) =
        let pin = parse s
        match pin with
        | Error _ -> false
        | Ok pin ->
            parseResult <- (pin |> SwedishPersonalIdentityNumberCSharp)
            true

But if you look in the comments file ActiveLogin.Identity.Swedish.xml there are no entries for the two functions with out-parameters.

Expected behavior The xml-comments should be displayed. But they are not.

Additional context Visual Studio Code 1.31.1

Can someone confirm if this works or not in Visual Studio?

Can someone confirm if this works or not in Visual Studio?

I can confirm :/ Why is this?

[viktorvan]

Some more information. When cloning a fresh project and building I can see that the xml-comments are generated correctly in bin/debug/netstandard2.0/ActiveLogin.Identity.Swedish.xml.

I can get intellisense from within an F# project when using the "CSharp"-facade SwedishPersonalIdentityNumberCSharp.

But if I create a C#-project and reference ActiveLogin.Identity.Swedish I cannot get any intellisense for the TryParse-functions with out-parameters.

I have reported this as a bug in visualfsharp.

Is this still an issue @viktorvan?

[viktorvan]

This issue is not yet fixed in the fsharp-compiler. I suggest we keep it open.
