Code Comments and Intellisense

Mythran

I have asked this question here before but was given an answer I didn't like
(stubborn I am!). I believe the way my question was interpreted was not as I had
hoped...so I am trying again.

In C#, code commenting with Intellisense is used. In VB.Net, it's not. Fine,
dandy, but not what I am looking for. I just want to write the XML by hand and
use it in my library so it displays the intellisense itself, not through code
comments <-- normally misinterpreted. Is it possible? Actually, I've seen it
done by these third party tools and would like to write the xml myself so I can
have this functionality (and possibly write my own code comment library later).

Thanks

There is a free Power Toy that does this: VB Commenter
http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/ide/he...Commenter.aspx

What is the VBCommenter?
The VBCommenter is an add-in for Visual Studio .NET 2003 that enables the
following three things:
a.. The Ability to automatically generate XML comment headers for classes,
methods and properties in the VB .NET editor similar to what the C# editor
automatically generates.
b.. The generation of the XML comment file to go along with your VB
assemblies at build time. This file can also be used with the "Custom Help
Builder" PowerToy to build a full help package for your class library
assemblies.

XML comments not showing up in intellisense

by: Bob | last post by:

The xml comments I have on my public methods (using summary tag) only shows up in the project where the class itself is in. Once I compile the project (a class libraray project), and refrence the DLL from another project, the comments don't show up anymore in VS.NET interllisense. Does anyone know what I need to do for the comments to show up when using the DLL in another project?

XML comments questions

by: Clive Dixon | last post by:

Q1: The intellisense summary info for a class only seems to update after a change to that class's XML comments if I remove the reference to the project from the current project and add it back again. Why so, and how do I stop this? Q2: The <seealso> tag seems to be required (by Vis. Stu. 2003 at least) to be inside the <summary> tag. However in the intellisense the seealso data gets tagged onto the end of the summary info as a (as far as...

Has anyone played around with them on VB in the new version yet? I am interested to get some feedback form people that have used this new feature before I install next week.

Why doesn't intellisense show comments?

by: Brett Romero | last post by:

I've added comments to a method in A.dll. B.exe references A.dll. I see the new method and only the stock comment (type methodname()) in intellisense. However, when I use object browser from B.exe to view A.dll, I see the new method and all the comments. How do I get the comments to come through in B.exe via intellisense when I scroll to that method? Thanks, Brett

XML comments in the DLL not showing

I had created a class and added XML comments to its methods. Then I compiled it as a DLL and added its reference to my project. But when I type the names of its methods, the intellisense is not showing XML comments. Am I doing something wrong or some other attribute of the DLL needs to be set.

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,...
