Public Partial Properties Summaries

[Vincrl]

Hey everyone,

Been working on a project using CommunityToolKit.MVVM and observed something off about the intellisense when using the C# version

<LangVersion>Preview</LangVersion>

If declaring an [ObservableProperty] through a field:

    /// <summary>
    /// My Super Field
    /// </summary>
    [ObservableProperty] private int myField;

The generated code is:

        /// <inheritdoc cref="myField"/>
        [global::System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCode("CommunityToolkit.Mvvm.SourceGenerators.ObservablePropertyGenerator", "8.4.0.0")]
        [global::System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.ExcludeFromCodeCoverage]
        public int MyField

Which means my intellisense will be describing the Property properly based on the private field's summary.

But when using the partial property now available in the preview language:

    /// <summary>
    /// My Super Property
    /// </summary>
    [ObservableProperty] public partial int MyProperty { get; private set; }

I get the following generated script:

        /// <inheritdoc/>
        [global::System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCode("CommunityToolkit.Mvvm.SourceGenerators.ObservablePropertyGenerator", "8.4.0.0")]
        [global::System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.ExcludeFromCodeCoverage]
        public partial int MyProperty

Meaning that my intellisense now does not provide a proper description of the property.

I need some observable properties to be private set only, which is why I am not using the private field option.

My work around for now has been to declare both field and property manually with the SetProperty function call but I feel like doing so beats the purpose of using MVVM.

Did anyone find a better way or is there a fix incoming which would add the /// to the generated partial property or is that technically not achievable considering the duplication of names?

Thanks for your time and your help.
