Thanks. TBH, I'm not a fan of the pseudo-syntax documentation for Func parameters. Is this used elsewhere?
I'd prefer just regular text comments like it's used e.g. for the predicate parameter of Enumerable.Where. Would you be willing to change the documentation comments in this way?
Sure no worries.

public ColumnInfo SetPropertyUsing(Func<object, ICell, object> setProp)
{ SetProp = (o, v, c) => setProp(v, c); return... }
public ColumnInfo SetPropertyUsing(Func<object, object, ICell, object> setProp)
{ SetProp = setProp; return... }
public ColumnInfo SetPropertyUsing<T>(Func<T, object, object> setProp)
{ SetProp = (o, v, c) => setProp((T)o, v); return... }
While using several methods in my application, I had some issues to understand what you expect from these Func parameters. Therefore I had to dig in the source code to check where you pass those parameters and still, at a glance, do not understand what some of the parameters above are because they are named "(o, v, c)".
What I mean is that it is quite difficult to understand what you expect from each parameter in a Func, especially when you use primary types, the object type, or have several inputs. So I added these xml comments.
Just added some examples how it currently appears:

Sorry, I do not understand what you mean here or where we should add those text comments. To be honest, I am quite busy but , if it is a quick addition, I don't mind.
I agree with you about the need to better document the Func's parameters.

I mean instead of adding pseudo-code like Func<cellValue: object, cell: ICell, out property: object> after the original documentation sentence we should follow the example used in MSDN by adding a sentence that describes the parameters. For example:
Specifies a method to use when when setting the property value from the cell value. The first parameter of the function represents the value of the cell and the second parameter represents the cell itself. The function should return the value that will be assigned to the property.
Ok, I will add them.
