If you do the autodocumenting tags (signalled by three comment characters
''') and fill in comments for each parameter, those comments show up in the
tooltips. Here's how it looks for a method of mine:
''' <summary>
''' Writes a message to the Windows Event Log
''' </summary>
''' <param name="logName">Name of the target Log within the Event
Log</param>
''' <param name="sourceName">Name of the event Source</param>
''' <param name="machineName">Name of the target server where the Event Log
resides</param>
''' <param name="message">The message to be logged</param>
''' <param name="messageType">The EventLogEntryType (e.g. Error, Warning,
Information, etc.)</param>
''' <remarks></remarks>
Typing ''' causes VS2005 to generate the tags based on your method
signature. You then fill in the text within the tags.
When I make a call to that method in my code and hit the opening parentheses
the tooltip says "logName: Name of the target Log within the Event Log".

Like the tooltips you have when you create a new ArrayList
Dim a as new arraylist(capacity)
capacity : The number of argument ...
