Intellisense descriptions

[Kasracer]

Anyone have a link to the MSDN that has the tool Microsoft made which allows you to make descriptions and such for the functions in your classes?

I can't think of its name off hand or I would have searched for it (it has been posted before).

OR,
use C#, it has it built in. You just need to type /// above the method, and fill in the xml it automatically adds.

I sure hope they add this into vb.net on the next release. It is definately a need.

[Edneeis]

I read in a magazine that it was included in the next version.

I guess you still have to use nDoc to get a good result with the tool I posted earlier. Here are more links:

I am using C#, I figured this forum would get a reply faster.

However, I am using SharpDevelop and it does not "automatically add the XML" for me.

Do you know where you read that? I was actually showing a co-worker the C# way today, and he was pretty mad about it not being in vb.net. I thought I had heard it was going to be in the next version also, but I can't remember where I seen it.

It will be in the next version of VB.NET. I have the alpha version of Whidbey and its in there. Here is a screen shot

[Kasracer]

That's not fair, I wanna play with Whidbey, lol

Will C# have templates?

[MrGTI]

That is great news.

Hey DevGrp, can you compact that <summary> into a single line instead of 3 lines? Will it still work?

[hellswraith]

DevGrp, thanks. That was much appreciated.

Also, we (work) have a MSDN subscription, but the alpha isn't up there to download, am I missing something? I got the pre-alpha of longhorn, but not whidbey... I am trying to get both of those up on testing machines as soon as possible for the other developers and I to start playing with and getting used to things.

Sure you can, it's just XML as long as it's in between tags. It works almost the same in C# as VB .NET 2004.

I thought it was up for a while for MSDN subscribers and then they took it off..... unless I'm thinking of something else?

I'm sure a Beta will be coming around soon, you could just wait for that. It'll probably have alot less bugs/problems.

[hellswraith]

I figure if they don't get it up there soon, I will just ask the MS rep to hook me up. The asp.net roadshow is coming here in a couple weeks, and I will see him then. Maybe he can hook me up when I am there (or better yet, it would be nice if they pass em out without having to beg for it).

[DevGrp]

The alpha version of Whidbey is not on the MSDN site. Dont know why. I got a copy when I went to the MS office for a .NET user group meeting. I think they'll be giving out copies at the ASP.NET roadshow (i signed up the one in NYC) and DevDays.

[Kasracer]

Do you have to pay to go to these mettings and do they always give out free software?

If so, link to schedual?

[DevGrp]

ASP.NET Roadshow is free. Devdays is about 70 dollars I think.

No where near here. The closest event I see mentioned is a DevDay and that would still be an hour drive for me.

**** that

[hellswraith]

Didn't know if you got the correct link to the roadshow one kas, so here it is just in case.

[Edneeis]

Damn its in my area today, oopps! 1 hour away isn't bad, either is $75 really. I usually have to go to LA about 2 hours in traffic and some are MUCH more expensive. The PDC was like $1500.
