I assumed I couldn't do what I wanted as far as available characters for identifiers. Thanks for confirming it.
Regarding ... If the goal is simply to get the text of your choosing to appear in IntelliSense, wouldn't it make more sense to use the XML documentation to do this? E.g. public enum DateTimeFormats { /// <summary>MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss</summary> MonthDayYearTime, ... etc. } Unless I'm missing something ... it appears that <summary> doesn't pop a ToolTip in the VS.Net IDE for when used as above. It simply displays the type specifier as usual if you mouse over the enum type. Of course when you enter a "." after the enum type name you also get a list of the named constants. The <summary> tag certainly works in the manner you describe for classes and methods. =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentorŪ http://www.develop.com NEW!
