tooltip for functions?

Umm, in the intellisense thingie, when you hold the mouse on a sub or a function, it shows a little tooltip that describes what that function does.
I'm just wondering if it's possible to add descriptions to functions, just like the way .NET classes have descriptions:rolleyes:

There is the 'System.ComponentModel.DescriptionAttribute
' class but I don't know if it works for the tooltips. It shows the description in the properties window though (mainly just controls).

You use it like this:

VB Code:

Imports System.ComponentModel
 
    <Description("Removes an item from the collection by Index")> _
    Public Sub Remove(ByVal Index As Integer)
        _Col.Remove(Index)
    End Sub

I think in C# you can add description attributes into the code like xml.

this sucks!!!! stupid microsoft doesnt support vb.net as well as C#! :(


btw I dont get it, how did the other guy make the xml file? he doesnt describe it well (I;m talking about the second to the last thread)
do I have to add the xml file to my class library? and then what? :confused:

I guess he just made the xml file from scratch or got one from a C# program to show us. It didn't have much in the way of instructions. I saw a program that would do this for you for vb.net but now I can't find it again :confused: Well if you figure it out before me then let me know too. Thanks.
