    discription of a function in a class?

    I'm making a lot of functions and subs in a class then call them into the form , how can I add some discription so that it appears when calling it.Just in vb.net when the yellow box appears showing so the usage of a function or method.
    Regards

    You can do this in the IDE with C# but for VB you have to use a third party tool to add them in after then fact.

    Well I don't actually use on myself. I know there is one on msdn I'll find a link for you. Well here is one.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...asp?frame=true

    I can't say its the most exciting product I've ever seen it but it seems to do the job.

    Or if you want to pay I saw this one:
    http://www.fesersoft.com/products/vb...ts/default.asp

    Damn I'm too slow wyrd beat me too it while I was searchinf gotdotnet for where I saw that link. (And it was in one of his posts or questions)

    doesn't that to do with XML files?????
    maybe you didn't get my point.
    I want to write discription for my Class or Functions , so when I call it , menu of the class or function members will be shown but ofcurse without discription .In VB.NET classes or functions menu are heavily discripted.
    I can't explain that any more .It seems very obvious.
    I appreciate it.

    Yes and the IDE does this through XML files that accompany your dlls, I got the point.

    Yeah I asked this same question on gotdotnet.com a couple of weeks ago. Seems to be one of those odd ball questions that no one really knows the answer to except a couple people.

    OK guys , I became silly in this post but how can I add a Class file not dll .I thought I could edit the file and then add some discription on the top of the function.It sounds very easy but I dunno really .

    I think it only works for dlls not on classes although you could try loading the exe in the documentor maybe? Or you can use C# which lets you write the xml comments right in the IDE and does it all for you.
