tooltips with intellisense

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.
