Intellisense between assemblies (project reference)

[Tobias Lekman]

Hi,

I cannot get intellisense to work between assemblies (when I am using
project reference). Intellisense works fine inside the assembly (using Xml
comments). Any ideas why this will not pass through?

Regards,

Tobias

Tobias,

When you compile your assembly, make sure that you have the option to
generate XML documentation set. Make sure that this file is the name of the
assembly, with an extension of XML. Once you have that, place the XML file
in the same directory as the assembly that is being referenced, and
intellisense should pick up on it.

Hope this helps.

Any other suggestions if that doesn't work? I've got all that set up and
still get no descriptions for classes, methods, parameters, etc. when goint
to something in another project in the solution.

Solution contains JunkWindowsApp project and JunkLibrary project.

Freshly created JunkLibrary.XML now exists in JunkLibrary project path,
JunkLibrarybin/debug, and JunkWindowsApp/bin/debug.

Writing code for JunkLibrary.Class1 from a form in JunkWindowsApp I get no
description of the class.

What am I still missing?
