Documentation of Objects

Dies anyone know of a good way to document your classes.
I currently use the VB commenter for VS.net 2003 but that
does not provide any intellisence functionality for my
objects like description and such. Also when you select
tools > build comment web pages... I find these web pages
to be almost useless and less than satisfactory as
documentation.

I would really like to know how to document my objects
better.

Thanks All!

Use C#, and Summary Tags.

LOL.. to think, I was going to make the same suggestion...

Mike, unfortunatly, unless you use a VS.NET addin, you are not going to get
much use out of VB's meager commenting features. At least, not like you
would with C# and it's XML Documentation. I have seen one commenter that is
nice, but a bit pricey. CodeSmart for VS.NET (http://www.axtools.com/).

Anyhow,

HTH,

In that case, wait until MS provides Summary Tags for VB.Net.

Hello Mike,

XML comments is only supported in C# now. Please refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...C/default.aspx for details.

If you want to do it in other languages, I think you need to install some third party add-in or etc.

Thanks.

How can one view the contents of a queue? I'd like to verify that the queue has the same number of objects as the list that has been put into it. Also, should one think of a queue as static or dynamic (on the put side)? Do you put stuff in it once and then get from it until it's empty or do you put stuff in it a bit at a time? Or, can you do both? Also, does the queue actually get smaller as the threads feed from it or does it stay the...

Hi all, I am somewhat confused by the Object.GetHashCode() documentation. What I am looking for, is a hash code, which is bound to the _identity_ of an object, not to it's _value_ (see other thread "Object identity"). In the documentation, the statement "The hash function must return exactly the same value regardless of any changes that are made to the object" suggestes that the hash code is bound to an object _identity_ (that would
