If you look up a .NET 4 function, you'll get extensive documentation of each parameter, remarks, examples, everything you need. Look up .NET 4.5. Do it right now, look up anything. You'll get
actionName
Type: System.String
The name of the action method.How does this help? How is this help? It's clearly just the GhostDoc default auto-generated filler! Thousands of pages of this crap, fobbed off on developers as "documentation." If a machine is generating it, it isn't explaining anything, is it? Do they really think this is going to save them money? Stack overflow is not an acceptable substitute for documentation! I'm going back to C so I can at least read man pages written by a human.

I give your rant 6/10. You'd of pushed to a strong 7/weak 8 if you would have used the phrase "Die in a Fire".
6/10? Die in a fire!

The AccessViolationException type exposes the following members.I did and I don't see what you are talking about. I get documentation just as with .NET 4.

Sorry, but this is not enough to establish context. I think it is enough if this was help for a method that looked like:
ExecuteAction(string actionMethod)
Probably just edit to: The name of the action method to execute.

I'm on-line therefore I am. JimmyRopesWell, anything that existed already in earlier versions of .NET is fine; they've usually just kept the same documentation. However, anything to do with MVC (3 or 5 etc.) or any other new component in .NET 4.5 is what Joel Spolsky (?) called "undocumentation," that is, documentation in the format DoThing(); // Does the thing That's not an explanation; it's just a rearrangement of the function name.
