IntelliSense Code Comments?

I am creating my own library (.DLL), I need to know the code to put a
comments or Tooltip to my library. I want a Tooltip when I choose any
function of my library when I working with, like the original library of VB
when I press Ctrl & SpaceBar and I put the mouse point over the function name
it show me a tooltip with description of this function and short explain of
this.

You need to use XML comments and generate XML documentation file from
them. Then you just place this XML file in the same folder as your DLL.
IntelliSense and Object Browser help will work then. See
http://www.vbdocman.com/net/help/ind...ntext_help.htm
for more info.

There are several tools that you can use for it, including our VBdocman
..NET.
