How were .NET framework reference source files autogenerated?

99 views Asked by At

Apparently a lot of the source files in the reference source for the .NET Framework were autogenerated code, by some means. On some source files a header comment says:

// This file was generated, please do not edit it directly.
//
// Please see http://wiki/default.aspx/Microsoft.Projects.Avalon/MilCodeGen.html for more information.

(Example)

But the URL in the comment doesn't work - the hostname doesn't make any sense for an Internet site. Maybe this was originally internal to Microsoft or some other organization?

I don't necessarily need to access this exact page (which obviously may be internal / private somewhere) but I am interested if anyone knowledgeable can at least explain the gist of what it would have said.

FYI when I've searched for this URL or substrings of it, the only hits I find are just to pages in the reference source itself which contain the same comment.

Thanks
