Intellisense and DLL

[DISP Jol]

I have created an assembly and added reference to this dll in my web project I have also used USING statement on my web form...However the Intellisense doesnt work with the classes in this assembly... I am however able to instantiate and use classes from this assembly without errors.. Any ideas in getting intellisense to work with this assembly.. Thanks Joel

Hi, the Intellisense info is collected in a separate xml file, provided you enable this feature (by specifying the file name) in the project's properties. It remains available as long as you keep the xml file next to the dll file itself; referencing the dll file in another project makes Visual look for the xml file in the same directory. :)

Luc,, Thanks for your input...I dont wanna document or specify additional information for my classes.I just want the constructor name and signature to show up when I an using object of this class.. As in MyClass tstClass=new (I want MyClass name and the overloads for the constructor to automatically appear here) Thanks Joel

Hi Joel, Member names are available to Intellisense as soon as you have provided these two: - a reference to the dll file (Add Reference... in Solution Pane's context menu) - a using statement (at the top of your C# source files). Warning: you see method names only if: - you have a class instance name for non-static methods; e.g. FileInfo f; f.Open(); - you have a class name for static methods; e.g. File.Open() The extra info you can add with triple slashes goes into an xml file, cfr my previous message. :)
