Comment ToolTip

[S?ren Olesen]

Hi

If you in Visual Studio (VB) write String.E then you'll get a list of
possible methods and for each method I get a small ToolTip describing
the method....

How do I add information to my own objects/methods to get the same
kind of tooltip when using one of these ??

TIA

Hi Sven,

This is so often answered in this Newsgroup, why not search on comment

I think that you are talking about one of the main differences between C#
and VB.net

In C# it is a part and will be in the next version from VB.net

Meanwhile there are some alternatives, normaly Herfried gives this on this
questions,

But because the answer from sotto, I give it you.

I do not know what is the purpose from the answer from sotto.
(But when you search on his name, you do not find any question about this
from him).

Some links copied from Herfried about this

For VB.NET 2002/2003:

You can create an XML file that contains summaries of the methods and
properties in your control. This is distributed with the control and the IDE
reads it if it's available to provide the intellisense information.

The process is easier using C# because the XML comment system works for it
automatically but you can do this for VB using the VBCommenter add-in from
the GotDotNet site.

Check out the power toys.
