How to auto linewrap comments in .NET?

Question

I'd like to have a single command to auto-linewrap the XML-style comments in .NET.

Example:

/// <summary>
/// This comment line should be
/// on one line, and other lines in this <summary> block should be wordwrapped.
/// </summary>

I wouldn't mind buying some of the commercial Visual Studio plugins, if they are capable of doing this.

when you click three times symbol '/' vs creates summary (is it resharper feature?) — username, Oct 02 '11 at 21:14
Pressing "/" 3 times creates the summary block as default in Visual Studio; it's not part of Resharper; though you can get plug-ins that intelligently populate the summary instead. — Luke Merrett, Oct 03 '11 at 07:21

Try the trial of ReSharper, it states it formats XML Doc Comments (Go Here and search for XML doc comments for more information) and tends to be very customisable.

If that doesn't work, the closest thing I could find was on CodeProject , it's intended for Visual Studio 2003; however is open source so you may be able to get it working without the expensive of a third party plugin.

I've written an addin for Visual Studio, AtomineerUtils Pro Documentation which will update and word-wrap both normal comments and documentation comments (in XML, Doxygen, Qt and JavaDoc formats). (It's not free, but it's very inexpensive and there's a 30 day free trial)

It tries to intelligently preserve important newlines - text such as indentation, bullet lists, blank lines or a double space at the end of a line (among other things) will all be used as hints to the wrapping engine to ensure that your formatting is not lost.
