Hi, Just a note on this, it's true that you get the xml doc file generated automatically if you use C# but you can create the xml file "manually", with the appropriate schema (you can find it at MSDN, or see the xml files provided with the .net framework assemblies for a general idea), and VS.NET will parse it and show Intellisense tooltips without any problem. There are already some tools for generating xml doc files for .net assemblies (although I don't have the links here I did saw one example that used custom attributes to get the job done).
You can use reflection and/or custom attributes to build the xml doc file. It even becomes a lot easier than to write this info directly in C# comments, and you can always change the docs without recompiling the assemblies (if you use reflection only, without custom attributes). Hope this helps, Rui Quintino __________________ Rui Quintino Analista/Programador [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rquintino.pt.vu __________________ -----Original Message----- From: Browning, Don [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: quarta-feira, 5 de Junho de 2002 12:06 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Adding IntelliSense ToolTips You can't. The Intellisense tooltip uses the XML comments from C#, and since VB doesn't support XML comments (don't get me started on that one), you're left out in the cold when it comes to assisting developers who use your classes. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news... Don -----Original Message----- From: Ted Osberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 2:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Adding IntelliSense ToolTips I was wondering if anybody knows the right way on how to create tooltips for a class writtten in vb.net? I have created one and want those fancy tooltips to show up in Intellisense when a user needs to use one of the methods/subs/properties from my class. I know you can do this in C#, but is it possible in VB? Thanks!
