    I am using ASP.NET Core project. On Project properties -> Output -> on checking this Checkbox (XML Documentation File) - it generates a xml document with xml comments from entire library. 

    Can this behavior be pro-grammatically achieved so that user is not bothered to click this checkbox in visual studio ?  

    As soon as my code runs, it automatically creates xml file and fills it with xml comments from the entire library.

    I'd just modify the CSharp project template to include this line:


            <GenerateDocumentationFile>true</GenerateDocumentationFile>


    In TemplateData section so new projects will have this option automatically enabled by default.


    EDIT: Seems you can also create a Directory.Build.props file to include this option as described here to make it have effect on all existing projects in a solution.
