I'm currently working on a ASP.Net Web API project in work. One of the deliverables on this project is documentation generation using the XML comments for the methods in the Api Controllers. The generation of documents is up and running however the PUT and POST methods are using FromBody to extract a complex object from the JSON/XML supplied to the method.

The problem is that the Request Information contains only the name and summary for the complex object and nothing for the properties of that class. I've searched around and see that there is a proposal to fix this but there is no progress on the fix yet. Another msdn blog shows how to extend the documentation generator but I cant quite figure out how to do this for the complex objects.

My question is how should I go about extending the documentation generator to support these complex objects.
