1、Areas/HelpPage/App_Start/HelpPageConfig.cs

    修改 public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)：

config.SetDocumentationProvider(new XmlDocumentationProvider(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/bin")));

    path修改到bin目录下

2、Areas/HelpPage/XmlDocumentationProvider.cs

  修改构造函数为：

        public XmlDocumentationProvider(string documentPath)
        {
            if (documentPath == null)
            {
                throw new ArgumentNullException("documentPath");
            }

            var files = new[] { "adll.xml", "bdll.xml"};
            foreach (var file in files)
            {
                var path = Path.Combine(documentPath, file);
                if (File.Exists(path))
                {
                    XPathDocument xpath = new XPathDocument(path);
                    _documentNavigators.Add(xpath.CreateNavigator());
                }
            }
        }

    var files = new[] { “adll.xml”, “bdll.xml”};中枚举出自己的dll的注释xml就好了。
然后增加方法：

        private XPathNavigator SelectSingleNode(string selectExpression)
        {
            foreach (var navigator in _documentNavigators)
            {
                var propertyNode = navigator.SelectSingleNode(selectExpression);
                if (propertyNode != null)
                    return propertyNode;
            }
            return null;
        }

    然后把其它调用_documentNavigator.SelectSingleNode(selectExpression)替换为SelectSingleNode(selectExpression)

  这样，只要写好备注，生成dll时选择了XML文档文件，路径为bin目录下，help页的描述就自动生成了
