XML Documentation & IntelliSense

I have a C# .NET 1.1 solution that consists of 2 projects. The first project
is a class library that has well formed XML documenation. In this project
IntelliSense shows me the description of each method.
I have added a reference to this class library in the second project. But
IntelliSense doesn't show me the description of any method.
Note: I have compiled the class library so that it generates a doc file
named assemblyname.dl l.xml but still IntelliSense doesn't show any
description.
I have read all the posts but still can't find a solution to make
IntelliSense show the description of my methods.

I was able to reproduce this behavior when the reference to the class library
is from the GAC. If the same version of your class library is installed in
the GAC the xml comments will not show in intellisense. When setting your
reference make sure your reference is from the bin directory where the class
library's assembly is, usually the bin\debug directory. The xml must also be
in this directory. If this does not work, then make sure to remove the dll
from the GAC.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help. However my assemblies are not installed in GAC.
I added the reference to my assembly both using the projects tab or by
browsing to the dll file from the first tab but still IntelliSense doesn't
show the description of my methods.

Thanks in advance,
Shehab.

Hello, Whenever I use methods from my class libraries I don't get any Intellisense support of the source documentation I supplied. When I use the same code directly instead (i.e. adding the class directly to my project and not using the assembly dll of my class library) then I get Intellisense information of the methods as expected. Using third party assemblies instead provides me with the intellisense support. Is there something...

Is there a way to insert a newline into a documentation comment? The intention is to have the tooltip that appears with Intellisense show the line breaks so that the description is easier to read. For example, I have a method where one of the parameters is a bool. The diference between true and false is significant to the results. I would like the tool tip to read as follows for that parameter: IsBoolParam: true = blah blah blah...

I've been looking at the XML documentation for C# code. I've put in a number of <summary>, <remarks>, <param> tags and used the /doc switch to create an XML file. What now? I was expecting to have a style sheet or some other mechanism to present the documentation. I was also expecting to have the summary and params show up in IntelliSense.

Hi There! In C# you can use /// to add comments that can produce XML documentation. What about in VB???? Thanks, Don

This is a slightly edited re-post with a (hopefully) more descriptive subject and a bit more detail. I'm new to C# and to newsgroups, so please bear with a possibly foolish query. I'll try to be sensible. The results of /// <summary> ... </summary> etc. appear immediately in the Object Browser and in Intellisense popups, as advertised. But when I try to get the same result with <include file='filename' path='tagpath' />, no joy.

Does anyone know of any classes that will load the XML documentation into some useful classes? I'm assuming there must be some somewhere as that's what the Object browser does to show summaries and comments, and Intellisense must do something similar. But I can't find anything specific in the help files. I could roll my own but would prefer to save an hour or two if it's

I am creating a custom control and so I have a c# solution, and added a c# web control library project. I don't get any squigglies until after I build, then when I fix, they don't go away until after I build. The editor also doesn't reformat the code to keep things lined up, even though that option is set. Whats wrong?

Is there some sort of a preset way for compiling documetation about an assembly or a project. The Reason that i ask this is that sometimes when i look at examples for code i see things like this. <summary>This is a summary</summary> public function test() end function and then this is the same stuff that i will see in the documentation. if this is the case how do i set this up or compile it?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
