How to generate XML documentation file in ASP.NET 5

Question

I am interested how can I create XML documentation file in VS2015 with ASP.NET MVC6 project? In older project types there was a checkbox called XML documentation file when you do right click on Properties -> Build.

You don't need to do anything special, it generates it by default and puts it inside the NuGet package for you.

Refer to here if you want to see where exactly this happens.

Ok, then your answer stays. I'll remove mine which said "XML documentation should be emitted by default. The documentation should be in <assembly name>.xml in the same folder as the output. The code is here

So is there a way that I can get the XML path while I am running the application on IIS Express?

When I do publish and if I don't select Precompile during publishing I will not get that .xml file. Same thing when I do build, if I do not select Produce outputs on build I will not get that XML. I would like to access that file from the code and use it for Swashbuckle.
