    function descriptions

    in the little box the shows up then you use a function there is sometimes a brief description of what the varible you parse is (under the type description).

    i would like to know how i could give this descriptions to the functions that i write.

    You have to use some sortof hack for it to work in VB.NET. In C# you just use 3 back slashes ///.

    Just remember that the only reason you would really need the intellisense that the xml documantation tool delivers is if you are planning on your code being used by other developers. Then you must remember to ship the xml document with the compiled files. In reality whenever you distrubute a completed application you normally dont want people being able to easily access your code. The only exceptions are when you have written something designed for third pary implementation.
