I have an extended class in a dll and have put summaries for each method like this
/// <summary>
/// Removes all occurences of a given object.
/// </summary>

The problem is that when I see my methods in the intellisense, the summary shows up only within the namespace and if I use my classes and methods in other projects, I don’t see my summaries, only the summaries of the base class which is a .NET original class. How come?

Is your assembly in the GAC?

No, but the source files are in the same solution. I have one solution and 2 C# projects within that solution.

One is an exe project and the other is a dll project. In the exe project when I use my classes of the dll project, I do see my methods and everything but no summaries in the intellisense! But in the dll projet itself I see the summaries in the intellisense!

IN the VS.NET properties for the dll's project, give the field for the
"XML Documentation File" the same name as your dll, but with an XML
extension. Make sure that that XML documentation file is in the same
directory as the dll that is referenced in your other projects.

See the documentation for the csc C# compiler's /doc option.

I added these comments "///" (below is an example) to help the developers use the classes and methods I am adding the library. When I instantiate an object in the same project I get help from the comments in the IDE. However if I add the library to another project I don't get the help. How can I make sure I pass the help around? Do you have any information on how I generate the XML and/or where I can find it to include it in a distribution?...

Hi, Within my project, I've got a number of classes in separate files. When I point at the name of a class in the file in which it is defined, it shows the <summary> information for the class in a tooltip. But when I point at the name of a class in some other file (still in the same project), it just shows "class " and the name of the class. I looked into generating an XML file, but it produced a bunch of errors because I don't have...

I really do not understand the difference between the <summary> and <value> XML document tags for a property. Why would one use one as opposed to the other for a property, and when would one use both ?

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
