When developing C# applications in VS.NET, you get intellisense descriptions
for all methods in the .NET class libraries. I've created my own .NET
assembly and included /// C# documentation of all my methods, classes, etc..
The intellisense works great when this .NET assembly project is included in
the solution I'm working on. However, if I just make a reference to the
..dll file instead of including the 'project', the comments/descriptions of
methods, classes, etc., don't show up.
How can I get these comments to show up in intellisense when other
developers use my assembly?
Thanks in advance!

You need to make a reference to the project not the dll.

Interesting. Is there any other way to do it? That seems rather limiting.
For example, if I built a .DLL and wanted to share it with you, but didn't
want you to see the original source code, I'd certainly want you to be able
to have intellisense or you'd never ever use it ...
Comments? Thanks again.

Try copying the documentation XML into the same folder as your assembly.

I've written a DLL assembly in C#. I've built the DLL, and reference it from other projects. The assembly contains a single file, containing a single abstract class. This class contains loads of static "helper" methods, as well as a load of nested abstract classes that also contain static "helper" methods. This set up allows me to write code like the following

Hello,
Whenever I use methods from my class libraries I don't get any Intellisense support of the source documentation I supplied.
When I use the same code directly instead (i.e. adding the class directly to my project and not using the assembly dll of my class library) then I get Intellisense information of the methods as expected.
Using third party assemblies instead provides me with the intellisense support.
Is there something...

I have been using the <summary> tags etc to add references to my classes

When I reference the resulting dll from another project however none of the
comments come up in intellisense or the object browser. I have set the

I have asked this question here before but was given an answer I didn't like
(stubborn I am!). I believe the way my question was interpreted was not as I had
hoped...so I am trying again.
In C#, code commenting with Intellisense is used. In VB.Net, it's not. Fine,
dandy, but not what I am looking for. I just want to write the XML by hand and
use it in my library so it displays the intellisense itself, not through code

Can anyone tell me what exactly what makes intellisense works for custom

I just installed Atlas in my office computer, created a new atlas
project and it doesn't show any code completion dialog when I type
"<atlas:". At home I have exactly the same version of VS 2005, and it
works perfectly.
I even had to format and reinstall everything here, but it still doesn't

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
