Class Properties

Ok,

Here's the question.

Do you know when you are working with VB.net and you are using a .net framework class and the little window pops up telling you what your opptions are (for instance when you type Dim j As New System.Net.Sockets.Socket(". Well I am just wonder if anyone knows how to do this with user developed classes. For example I am writing a class and it would be nice if it came up with serveral different options like that.

That is just part of the IDEs intellisense and it will pop up on your classes too. The descriptive sentence at the bottom can only be done with extra tools or on C#, but the parameters of the method or what not will show up. When there is more than one it just means it is an overloaded method.

VB Code:

'if you had multiple methods or even just one like this
Public Sub New(ByVal name as string)
 
Public Sub New(ByVal name as string, ByVal rank as string)
 
'when you go to use this class it will show the parameters
Dim obj as New MyClass('intellisense show stuff here

To get tool tip descriptions on your class's intellisense go to gotdotnet.com in the vb.net section is a utility that lets you create the xml document that stores this information for the ide.
