What has DataSysDescription been replaced with?

[Xennex]

I've searched high and low and found no article on the web in English or Japanese to explain what I could use to display some help for a function (or subroutine) in the popup that appears when entering said function in the VS2005 IDE when using VB.NET. I discovered later that you could use the XML code documentation to write the description.

Just type 3 single quotes (''') on a new line directly above the function you want to document and press return. The IDE creates a comment template. Just enter your description text within <para></para> in the <summary> section and it will show up when the intellisense dropdown is displayed for your function.

Took me 2 hours to track down a solution.. Hopefully this entry will save people with the same question time.

:) Thanks Xennex.
There is more that you can do to provide help for your code if you want to.
You can create MSDN Style compiled help files and even integrate these help files into Visual Studio using tools like DocProject (creates the compiled help) and the Visual Studio SDK (used to integrate the help into Visual Studio...and more).
