Methods Description in Intellisense
-
Can I describe a methods purpose through intellisense in the visual studio designer. I can see the required parameters of the method, I would like to add a description as well. I'm using VB.Net on framework 1.1. -- modified at 2:50 Tuesday 31st October, 2006

Above for method start a comment with 3 single quote marks ie ''' This should give you an xml template to enter a description of the method, parameters, return values etc. Steve Jowett

That only works in VB.NET 2005, not 2003.

You'll have to use a 3rd party tool to do this in VB.NET 2002 and 2003. Xml documentation support wasn't added to VB.NET until 2005 (.NET Framework 2.0). Something like VBCommentor[^] will do it for you.

Hi, i didn't tried this on framework 1.1, but, you just try this one. after defining the complete function with return type, parameters and all. you press on the comment key 3 times just above the function name. So, it will automatically comes with the details, there you can give your details for the parameters, return type and function description etc. if it solved your problem, please dont forget to rate the answer....
