DesignTime Intellisense

dan
I am working in C#. I want to know how I can get the extras to show up on
the intellisense mouseovers. I get a name and type of the property like
private string textbox.font

But I do not get the extra description like many of the built in controls.
Where is this stored and how do I modify it.

[Description("he llo World")] //does not do it. And I already have it showing
up in the property window but I want to be able to mouse over a property or
method in the intellisense drop down and see a breif description of what the
control does.

Thanks

Answering My Own Question For future Reference
to enable the description in the intellisense you must use this notation
before the [description("")] ; ///<summary>Intell isense description</summary>

so in code it should look like this

///<summary>
///Hello World
///</summary>
[Description("us e this proprety for something")]
public int nothing......

good luck

Hello, I have a question, can someone help me please? What are the differences between a runtime and a designtime component? Is runtime component only good for running with the .exe and not during development environment using Visual Basic 6 (For example, an error pops out saying License is not found - I am using 3rd party components.)?

Hi, I've developed a class that derives from component (rather than a control), and am trying to license it at design time. I've set the license attributes etc. to my custom license provider: The problem is that my license provider never gets called at designtime. To prove this, I've put this code into the implementation

I am implementing an Extension control that provides other Controls with a set of properties. One of the properties should be a list of values that is configurable by the user (aka developer). The Extension control itself has a collection property where the user can specify the values that should be allowable for the extension on the other controls.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
