How do I provide context help in IDE?

Does anyone know how to add a Description Field to Public Functions,
Procedures and Subroutines of a .NET DLL Component (Not a UserControl)that
will display in the IDE when your component is referenced by another project
(Exactly the same way that any of the Microsoft .NET Components would i.e.
System.Windows.Forms.Binding would pop up a tooltip stating what the calling
parameters are AND a description of what it does when you hover over it
after entering a ".")

I.e. type System.Windows.Forms.Bin..... which displays the possible
functions and procedures available and hover the mouse over Bindings in the
list and it displays what it does.

I have tried <Description("A Description")> but this does not seem to do it.

Any help would be much appreciated as I'm sure it is something simple I am
missing - It used to be easy in VB6 using the Properties Editor on the Tools
Menu!
