In VS2005 / VB.NET, do you still have to spell out the
ComponentModel.Description attribute when you want properties of a custom
control to have description text in the Property Editor?... or can you use
XML Comments take the place of this? If you still need to specify both, why
can't the XML Comments shortcut (''') automatically pick up the
ComponentModel.Description already defined for the Property....
With the VBCommenter power toy add-in in VS2003 you could type ''' and the
XML Comments would automatically be filled in with the value of
ComponentModel.Description attribute already specified for the property.
If so, this yet another "little thing" where VS2005 is completely
half-assed. I swear the more I use this thing the more I'm infuriated by its
total brainlessness. I hope I'm wrong. I really hope I'm wrong.
