I'm currently working on giving my plugins space in my settings.xml
file, actually, that's now working - however I would like to display
each of the plugin's "setting" property summaries in the details section
of the datagrid that I am using to update their values. I was wondering
if there was a way to access this information. (hopefully that's not too
confusing).
I assume there is because I can load up a dll file in my app called
let's say plugin.dll and once I call it I can do things like
plugintype.foo and get a description in some popup text of what that
property, method, etc's summary is.
Thanks in advance,
Benny

Yes, attributes are a better way to do this. Attributes are embedded
in the compiled DLL file so you can get them via reflection.
XML comments are not embedded in the DLL file. They are kept in a
separate XML file, and that's the file that Visual Studio is analyzing
to pop up those helpful messages.

Then you should parse the XML file and get such info.
VS.NET also does it that way. If you add reference to a library (say,
log4net.dll) you won't get tooltip until you put its xml comments file
in the same folder.

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?

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...

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.
