Use the XML comments which are generated in C# when you enter "///" before
the methods and properties. Then set the project to build the XML
documentation file by right clicking the project and specifying the output
directory and filename for the XML doc file. Finally, distribute this XML
file with your DLL and the intellisense information will be displayed when
your component is used at design time.

Take a look in the MSDN help for the /doc command line switch for the C#
compiler. (entitled "/doc Process Documentation Commands") it explains how
to use the generated XML file and how to have Visual Studio generate the
file for you.

You may also wish to read up on XML Documentation which is also available
from a search of MSDN
