xml comments in a class

[Guest]

Hello,

When I do something like this before a method:

/// <summary>
/// Load the file from disk
/// </summary>
/// <param name="FileName">Set the filename, preferred extention is
".xml"</param>

Then the comment is visible in the code completition. But when I create a
separate class and use it, then it is not visible. Do I forget something here
?

I'm using C#2005 beta express.

Hello Bob,

Build the XML documentation file and distribute it along with your DLL

Thanks. Only problem is I cannot find any menu item on how to build the XML
documentation. Maibe it is a limitation in the Express version ?

Problem is nobody seems to know what the differences of limitations are in
the Express version. I use C# 2005 Express Beta.

I don't have the express version but here's how I'd do it in the VS2003
enterprise edition...

Open the solution browser, right click on the project within the solution.
Select "Properties" and then the "Cration Properties" sub-tree.
Select the "Build" section and ensure tht the XML Documentation File in the
"Outputs" section has a file name such as "bin/myassembly.xml"

The XML comments will be assembled in the named XML file which you can copy
along with the DLL.

Why "Configuration" ended up as "Cration" I'll never know
