[RESOLVED] [2005] Class Property Description

[dminder]

Ok so how do I get the description to show up on a property with intellisense?

Here is what I have:

Private ld_PropName as string

<Category("Cat"), Description("I want to see this in Intellisense.")> _
    Public ReadOnly Property PropName() As String
        Get
            PropName = ld_PropName
        End Get
    End Property

Nothing, nada, nil, zip, zilch in intellisense for description. Any ideas??

Thanks all,

D

I think this site provides a free tool to create your own intellisense information popup.

XML comments are the main way to do this in VS 2005. Just type in 3 single quotes and it will automagically appear and you fill in the blanks.

    ''' <summary>
    ''' This is what you'll see in Intellisense
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <param name="param1">You'll see this too</param>
    ''' <remarks>Put other stuff here</remarks>

As has been said, you use XML comments to display a member or type summary in Intellisense. The Description attribute that you show in post #1 is what gets displayed in the Description box at the bottom of the Properties window when that property is selected in the designer.
