Properties

[mikasa]

Ok, anyone got an idea on how to do this in VB.NET? I need to know how to put Descriptions onto the Properties of my Classes that will show up in the "Tooltips" that display during Intellisense typing. Also, I'd like these descriptions availabe in the Object Browser. You used to be able to do this in VB6 by going to "Tools --> Procedure Attributes". No, I am not looking for the "ComponentModel.Description" either...that is only for design time control properties (so it seems).

Can't you just use the <Description()> attribute? [Edit]Sorry bout that, forgot that < wouldn't work in html :( [/Edit]

Well, no, that's what I said in my post..."ComponentModel.Description()" does absolutely nothing except display a Description in the Properties Editor on a Form. I want the Description to show up like it does in the Object Browser (with a Summary, etc.) and also to display a Tooltip while typing in Code.

You mean like the what the XML Comment does for C#? Well, if that's what you want, VB.Net doesn't support that, but I think there are 3rd party tools that replicate that somewhat. You'll have to look around.

I guess so. You know, that's retarded...I thought everything in the CLR was exactly the same no matter what language. So why does C# have more design-time enhancements than VB? For example, why do we always have to comment every &#^%$%@ line of code instead of "/* .... */ ". Not that I am complaining...too much, because I do not like the syntax of C# / C++. I can understand and read it, but I don't think I'll ever code in it ;P
