Question

When you type “this.” , you usually get all the routines, events, and more… of the current class you are in. And when you simply stand over one of the routines in the long list without choosing one, you usually get a description next to it.

How can I do that ?
Let assume I have a class called CAR with two routines: speed_up(), and brake().
How can I make the person using my class to see a description of the two functions when he types:

CAR mycar = new CAR();
mycar.

Answer 1

Above a class or a method, rather than a “//” comment. if you do a “///” triple slash ( otherwise known as an XML comment ), it performs a short cut to allow you to fill information out about the class or method you are commenting on.

This then appears in your code as such

    /// <summary>
    /// 
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="sender"></param>
    /// <param name="e"></param>
    void Method(object sender, EventArgs e)

When you then access the class or method through intellisense thats when the description will appear.
