Much thanks Jason, Jeff, et al. The "/doc comments" seem much akin to javadocs, only better (yes, I am Java programmer eating crow as I dig into C#). :-) I almost fell outta my chair when I saw them pop up in tooltips. That was very cool.
I kept looking up "xmldoc" and variants to find docs. "Documentation Comments" will return (almost) everything you want to know in MSDN. Anybody have an XSL file to transform the ouput to HTML or PDF?

I've made a habit of calling them "/doc comments" since that's the option to csc that extracts them outputs them into an XML file. Type "/doc" into your MSDN index and you can read all about them from there.
