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.
