index
Type: System.Int32[in] The index of the item for which to get the description.

Remarks
If an item does not contain a description, an empty string can be returned. A description can be obtained from the source during the parsing operation, typically from a comment before or after the parsed item. Sometimes the description can simply be the type of the declaration; for example, an integer variable could have a description of simply "integer" or "int".
