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
