[RESOLVED] [2005] Component Property

[Aspnot]

This should be simple...

I have a component that I created in a VB 2005 project with a method named ProcessClick. I placed the component on a form and named it pnlTest. If I go to the FormLoad event handler and type in pnlTest(dot) and look at what intelisense gives me, I show the ProcessClick method. However, when I hover over the method, I don't see the description I set for it. How do I make the description show???

Here is the code I currently have to set the description:

    <System.ComponentModel.Description("Generates a System.Windows.Forms.Control.Click event.")> _
    Public Sub PerformClick()
        Call OnClick(Nothing)
    End Sub

That sets the description for the Component (I think)... put a blank line between the XML comment there and the Public sub.... then hit the single tick mark three times. The IDE will insert a set of comments that you can then fill out. That should give you the intellisense comments I think you are looking for.

What are you referring to as a "single tick mark"? I tried a single quote and that got me nothing.

it should have come out looking something like this:

    ''' <summary>
    ''' 
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <remarks></remarks>
    Public Sub PerformClick()
        Call OnClick(Nothing)
    End Sub

-tg

EDIT - Ah, I think I see why.... remove the previous XML attribute you had on there... I didn't see that there was a line continuation on it... or try puttin the ''' on the line BEFORE the XML attribute.

Summary is the way to go. It didn't automatically type it for me, though. I wonder if there is a setting that can make that happen.

dont know if this is in the context... but worth to take a look:
