Copy symbol information to clipboard

Copy XML-Doc ID

When you invoke this command on any symbol (declaration or usage), it copies to the clipboard its XML-Doc ID, which will identify this symbol in the XML documentation of your code. You can use this ID when referencing this symbol from XML-doc comments of other symbols. For more information about the ID format, see Processing the XML File (C# Programming Guide).

For example, for the method MyMethod declared as

namespace MyNamespace
{
    class MyClass
    {
        void MyMethod(){}
    }
}

the XML-doc ID will be M:MyNamespace.MyClass.MyMethod

Copy Fully-qualified name

When you invoke this command on any symbol (declaration or usage), it copies to the clipboard its fully-qualified name or any of its prefix parts:

You may need symbol's fully-qualified name in different situations, for example when you use reflection.

If you use JetBrains Upsource and/or Roslyn-based source browser to browse your source code online, you can use this command to copy URIs that will locate the current symbol in the browser.

If you want to use these additional features, configure the base URIs for the services you use on the Environment | Search & Navigation page of ReSharper options (Alt+R, O).

If your project is hosted on GitHub, you will also be able to copy the GitHub link for the current caret position.
