Description Meta Attribute and Intellisense

[Joachim Hofmann]

Hello,

I have a class with a property ConnectionTimeO ut().
I added description meta code to it as follows.

<DescriptionAtt ribute("Lokales Connection-Timeout Für Feld_Ausgeben() "), _
Category("Zeitv erhalten")_
Public Property ConnectionTimeO ut() As Integer
Get
Return m_ConnectionTim eOut
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
m_ConnectionTim eOut = Value
End Set
End Property
....

I expected that if I define an Object and choose a property, Intellisense would show me the
description text, but it doesnt.

Dim cd As New CDatabase_Testp rojekt.Cdatabas e
cd.Conn.. <- only the signature appears

What am I missing´?

Thank You

Joachim

Re: Description Meta Attribute and Intellisense

The Description attribute is only used for help in Properties Window. To
get IntelliSense help, you need to use XML comments. It should look like:

''' <summary>
''' Lokales Connection-Timeout Für Feld_Ausgeben() .
''' </summary>
<DescriptionAtt ribute("Lokales Connection-Timeout Für Feld_Ausgeben() "), _
Category("Zeitv erhalten")_
Public Property ConnectionTimeO ut() As Integer

VS or our VSdocman than generates XML file in the same directory as your
DLL. VS then automatically uses it for IntelliSense. See
