tooltips for properties & methods

[Antuane]

when designing a class & its PEMs, is it possible for me to put some notes,
such that
when one uses this class, then they can see the comments i've included -
perhaps as tool tips??

If so, how can this be done??

I also would be very interested in the answer. In VB6 there was a way you
could add Object Browser comments to your classes, methods and properties.
I think you would do this with an attribute in VB.NET but I have not been
able to find it.

I too thought this may have something to do with attributes.
But i'm not sure how to use them.

Antuane,

This is standard in C# and in the next versions from VBNet.

There are some free tools however I do not know how far they are compatible
with the newest versions.
For VB.NET 2002/2003:

I hope this helps a little bit?

I suppose i'll wait, rather than using other 3rd party utilities & worrying
about them.
Thanx a bunch.
