IDE-Question: C++ != C#
-
heyhey, I gotta little question for you guys... actually I was quite happy with my VS-IDE... since today. there's some little feature I'm missing when programming in C++, and friends of mine told me that it's available in C# (in VS), so why not in C++??? here's the case: I wanted to document (for once) my function really nicely and found the /// <summary> /// blablabla /// </summary> Tags for documentation. Unfortunately the tooltip includes the "HTML"/xml-Tags in the tooltip when I mouseover/use the intellisense. Is that a bug or a feature? Can I get rid of it? I'd prefer an Eclipse-like or at least C#-style of view... any idea? thx in advance zqueezy

C++ doesn't support XML comments. (I think C++ in VS 2008 may?) However, regular style comments e.g., // have been supported since VC++ 6.0 e.g., // This is a method called DoIt. void DoIt() {} If you then type object.DoIt() you'll get the comment as Intellisense. Other than that there's a free tool called Doxygen you can use. But I've not tried it.
