property/method annotation

[Craig Buchanan]

Is there a way to annotate a property or method so that this description is
displayed in the object browser?

Thanks,

Hi Craig,

The summary relies on XML comments which are built-in to the IDE for C# but
not for VB.NET. This feature will be added to VB.NET in the v2.0 (Whidbey)

You could try the VBCommenter Power Toy for VS 2003. It's an add-in to VS
2003 that allows you to easily add XML comments and may also compile the
info required by the Object Brower into your assemblies as well.

Hi Craig,

The <Summary> tags are part of the XML comments I was speaking of.

Rob-

Can I do this manually in the code? I have seen C# code that uses the
<Summary/> tags, can I use that in VB.Net?

Thanks,

Craig
