Intelisense question

Hey Guys,

What I’m trying to do is find out how to put those nifty descriptions in
the intelisense popups.
What I mean is, you know when your using intelisens in VS after you type
the period the list of available methods, properties and objects is listed.
When you hover your mouse over an item it will pop up with the
parameters requires along with a brief description of what it does.
Is there a way for me to code that into my class library, so when I
reference it from another project I can use intelisens this way.

Any help or input would be greatly appreciated

A couple of steps:
1. Add XML documentation to your functions, just press slash 3 times at
the top of a function definition to get a skeleton
2. Set the Xml Documentation File to "MyAssembly.xml" in project
Settings (somewhere :P ) if your using VS.Net or /doc: if your a cmd
kid.
3. When you deploy, or use MyAssembly.dll make sure MyAssembly.xml is
beside it and your descriptions will appear.

Hope that helps,
Jan
