Open a project, choose "project - project options" , in the compiling tab, output section, there is check mark for XML documentation, if checked path will be bin\Debug\Projectname.xml

what is this used for? any user guide document regarding this?

Thanks,

It is a C# compiler option that generates an XML file containing method documentation. if you comment your methods with /// comments, this is output in this xml file.
