Edward,
The two tags are completely different. Summary is used to summarize
what the item it is attached to is (in this case, the property itself).
Value is used to indicate what exactly the value is that the property
get/sets.
If you want to relate it to the MSDN documentation, the summary tag is
the first paragraph before the code declaration, while the value tag will
appear under the "property value" header further down in the documentation.
Summary should give a general overview, while value should give a
detailed explaination about the property.
Hope this helps.

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 ?
