c#: Inherit documentation from interface property (not working as no docs displayed)

[TheMiller2015]

Describe the bug
In the same assembly, I have a public interface containing properties and methods. Everything is documented. The implementing public class has the same properties and methods (of course) and intelliSense shows the docs from the interface of methods and properties. The generated docs (of the implementing class) only contain the docs of the methods, but not of the properties. These docs are completely empty. It also doesn't matter, if I use <inheritdoc /> or not.

Expected behavior
The documentation text from the properties of the interface should also be copied to the implementing class properties.

To Reproduce

public interface IAnimal
{
    /// <summary>
    /// This doc-comment is NOT being copied over to "Cat"
    /// </summary>
    public string Name { get; set; }
    
    /// <summary>
    /// This doc-comment is being copied over to "Cat"
    /// </summary>
    public void Reset();
}

public class Cat: IAnimal
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    
    public void Reset();
}

Version
Windows 10, 64 bit,
doxygen 1.9.2

Thanks in advance for helping me. Let me know, if I can do anything to solve this problem.

Looks like a C# problem.

• Please provide the content of the doxygen settings file that differ from the default settings (doxygen -x Doxyfile)
• Please indicate (in an image) where you see that something is missing, including the name of the html file this is in.

Thanks for the quick response. Here are the differences (but I noticed, not all were listed by using your command. Some labels in the gui are red, but not listed, I'll append them though.)

Difference with default Doxyfile 1.9.2 (caa4e3d)

PROJECT_NAME = xxx
OUTPUT_DIRECTORY = C:\Users\xxx\Documents\development_documentations\xxx\xxxx
OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_JAVA = YES
EXTRACT_ALL = YES
INPUT = C:\development\xxx\c-sharp\xxxx
RECURSIVE = YES

red colored labels are:
SHOW_INCLUDE_FILES (unchecked)
SORT_MEMBER_DOCS (unchecked)
INLINE_INHERITED_MEMB (checked|unchecked) but makes no difference regarding the not copied docs

The html filename is like:
html/classx_x_x_xxx_1_1_interfaces_1_1_cat.html

The missing parts:

The code file:

Does that help? Thanks

As you are using the doxywizard the doxygen -x Doxyfile is maybe a bit cumbersome but on the run tab there is a check box Condensed and a button show configuration giving the same information as doxygen -x Doxyfile

Okay thanks. So here is the output from doxywizard:

# Doxyfile 1.9.2

PROJECT_NAME           = myproject.Lib
OUTPUT_DIRECTORY       = C:\Users\xxx\Documents\development_documentations\xxx\myproject.Lib
INLINE_INHERITED_MEMB  = YES
OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_JAVA   = YES
EXTRACT_ALL            = YES
SHOW_INCLUDE_FILES     = NO
SORT_MEMBER_DOCS       = NO
INPUT                  = C:\development\xxxx\c-sharp\myproject
RECURSIVE              = YES
GENERATE_TREEVIEW      = YES
FULL_SIDEBAR           = YES
GENERATE_LATEX         = NO
