I cannot find an option that allows to hide protected members of a .Net class which is sealed.
It is the common situation when protected members are specified in a base class and are used in its subclasses. Documenting such members in the base class is important for implementers of subclasses, but in a subclass which is final in the inheritance chain (sealed in C#), documentation for such members is redundand. How to remove this documentation in sealed class?
Sincerely, Alexander
You can use the Content File editor in Document! X and apply the "Exclude" flag in order to exclude specific Protected members from the generated output.
I've logged a feature request here for an option to automatically exclude protected members in sealed classes as it seems like that would be a time saver for the situation you outlined - many thanks for the suggestion.
The problem is that protected members are specified in a base class (say A), but I want to hide them in a derived class (say B). In Content File editor, when I look in B, the members inherited from A are not shown. So, I cannot exclude them from the view for B.
You can show inherited members in the Content File Editor by clicking the "Show Inherited Members" toolbar button above the tree. Let me know if you have any further problems.
Thanks, this really works.
In my project, I have near to 100 sealed classes inheriting from one base class. The base class has 5 protected members. Resulting, I need to click on the Is Excluded flag 500 times!

I have logged the change request here for an option to automatically exclude protected members from sealed classes - that will be arriving in a future update. Sorry I couldn't be of more help at this time.
