No Code Generated for dotnetcoreapp2.0

I've been working on documenting a microservice written in .NET Core 2.0. I've used the GUI to point it at the solution file and an individual csproj file. Both attempts failed to create an documentation from the XML comments.

Is documentation from XML comments for .NET Core a known limitation or am I just doing something wrong configuring.

SDOX:

Update:

I did realize that I did not have XML documentation enabled.

I set GenerateDocumentationFile in all of my csproj files to true. Doing this generated the xml in the form of AssemblyName.xml such that it matched up with AssemblyName.dll. It still produced no output for code.

It is not necessary to active the XML documentation generation. Unfortunately sharpDox was not tested on .NET Core until now. I think there are some changes necessary. Maybe I can look into this in a few days.
