I've an application made in Web Api 2.1 (Visual Studio 2012 C#) and I made a Help page with XML Documentation.

I just want only expose some controllers, not all controllers of my Web Api, but at the same time I don't want to remove the comments from the methods, classes, properties, etc.

How can I select some elements and others not to show in my help?

Thanks in advance

For every API controller that you would like to have excluded from the auto generated help pages you should add the following attribute to your controller:

 [ApiExplorerSettings(IgnoreApi = true)]


P.S. You have to include the following using statement:

System.Web.Http.Description
