tooltips with intellisense

=?Utf-8?B?U3RldmUgQnVnZGVu?=

Hi,

I am wondering how to create 'tootips' for my own C# functions.

When using intellisense to browse the available functions of a class that I
have written, I would like to be able to see a tooltip with a description for
each function.

Can anyone please tell me how to do this or perhaps a link to an article
that explains it. Tried searching but couldn't find anything.

Many thanks,

Steve

I don't know about C#, but in VB2005, if you put in XML comments above
the functions, the comments show up in Intellisense. To put in the XML
comments, you put in three single quotes and hit return, and it puts in
placeholders for you and then you can add remarks and information.
Maybe this also works in C#, because I think they originally did this
for
C#, and added to VB in version 2005.

My problem is that if I have a erturn type that is particularly long ro verbose, and a function name that is particularly long or...

<summary> tags not showing up in intellisense / tooltips

by: carl.manaster | last post by:

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...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

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,...
