I've created a summary text for a method of a class, but it doesn't
appear whem i add it to another project, i can see it only in the same
project.

Thanks
Pietro
 
Take a look at this:
http://dotnet.mvps.org/dotnet/faqs/?id=tooltipsxmldocumentation&lang=en

XML comments (like all comments) aren't part of a .dll (otherwise the .dll
would bloat in size). As such, as for as your other application is
concerned, there is no summary text. One would think that you could use
the DescriptionAttribute, but this unfortunetly doens't work for
intellisense (just th properties window). The above link shows how to hook
the outputted xml file from the original source to the dll you are
referecing in yoru other project...thus preserving the summary information.
