Adding intellisense descriptions to my class methods and properties

Hi All,

Is there any way of adding intellisense descriptions to my own
classes, class methods and functions in VB.NET?

I think it can be done in c# using /// before the method
declaration, but is this possible in VB?

many thanks,

Jason.

It will be possible in VB2005, now it is possible using some thirth party
tools

I'm working on a solution containing about 20 projects. Some of the projects contain class definitions that are used in other of the projects. Most of the time intellisense is working ok, i.e. if I work with objects declared from my own classes intellisense will show me all alternatives (methods and properties from my classes and from the classes they are derived from). But sometimes I will get nothing from intellisense, completely nothing,...

Hi All, I have created an API in C# for developers to use at my workplace, and have commented it fully. If I reference the DLL in a new class in my API project, I get full intellisense on the methods, descriptions and everything. If I make a new project and include my API DLL, I do get Intellisense popus, but they are missing the descriptions I created. ( I see only the method signatures)

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
