Creating a DLL that displays discriptive documentation when used.

[cerlendson]

I created a DLL and I used descriptive documentation in it. By "descriptive documentation" I mean that I put the following documentaion in above all of my proceedures:

/// <summary>
/// example proceedure discription
/// </summary>
public void example()
{
....
}

But when I complile the DLL and then reference it in another program I can't get the discription to come up in visual studio. You know how when you type in a class and then hit "." all the members come up with thier summaries? That is what I want to happen with the class in my DLL.

Any sugestions?

Add this line:

/// <summary>
/// example proceedure discription
/// </summary>
[System.ComponentModel.Description("example procedure description")]
public void example()
{
....
}

I dunno, works for me.

Try going into your project properties (right-click on project in solution pane), then under Configuration Properties | Build, enter in a path for the documentation file.

That doesn't seem to be working for me. But even if I do get it to work, how do I get it to display the different parameter discriptions for the proceedure?
