[2005] VB 2005 XML Commenter Problem

[newusermoe]

I am using VS 2005 and I cannot get the auto-commenter feature to work. I use the three ''' at the top of a function and press enter and get nothing. Is there an option I need to be turning on?

Thanks.

Not sure about VB but in C# the setting is under Tools|Options|Text Editor|C#|Advanced.

At the project level, go to My Project|Compile tab and make sure the "Generate XML documentation file" checkbox is checked.

It's not a matter of generating the XML. It's getting the comments to be created within the project code.

It's the option that penagate described but for VB (I see the one for C# but not VB)

What I pointed out is what will cause the IDE to generate the comment template in VB.NET if it is checked. If it is unchecked, the template won't be generated when you type in '''.

close, but not quite the right thing.
