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("hello 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>Intellisense description</summary>

so in code it should look like this

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

good luck
