XML Comments unavailable to consuming application

[John Kraft]

I have a project that is referencing a dll I compiled. The classes in
the dll are all fully XML commented. However, when I use classes
contained in the dll in my project, I receive none of the XML
documentation in my intellisense. Has anyone else experienced this
and have any advice as to how to remedy the situation.

Thank you,

John

Hi John

The you need to export the xml comments. You can read how to in this article

John,

Take the XML file (which should have the same name as your binary,
except with an XML extension) and place it in the same place where the
binary is. VS.NET should pick up your comments now in Intellisense.

Thank you very much gentlemen. I was compiling with the /doc, but I
didn't know I had to move that file as well. I was under the
impression that was just for end documentation.
