helpstrings

[Kimmo Laine]

Hi,

back in the COM days, i could write something like this, in IDL:

[id(1), helpstring("My Foo function")]
HRESULT Foo();

and later in (e.g.) VBs object browser, my description would apper when i
see the details for Foo.

How can i do that in C#?

[Description("My Foo function")]
public void Foo() {}

This don´t work


thx

Hi,

There are actually two flavours of the Description attribute. One is from
the System.ComponentModel namespace and this is most likely the one you've
tried. You can therefore try the other one residing in the
System.EnterpriseServices class.

Hi Kimmo,

You need to add a reference to System.EnterpriceServices.dll to be able to
use it.

(In Visual Studio .NET, In Solution Explorer, right click on References
and choose add reference. Then double click on System.EnterpriceServices
and Select OK)

Happy coding!
