Hi, I'm just having my first serious look at the VS .Net IDE after
years of VS6.
I quite like the way you can use intellisense to look at variables,
and it *almost* makes up for the jarring abscence of m_ etc :)
Anyway, I'm looking at the way you build documentation /
intellisense into the code (in this case c#).
you can do
/// <summary> blah </summary>
THIS NEXT LINE BE DOCUMENTED
but say you had a class like
class blah
{
int widget; /// little sentence to document widget
int widgetsCousin; /// little sentence to document widgetsCousin
// etc
}
.. how can I do this inline? <summary> always wants to document
whats to the RIGHT. Not whats to the left.
if you did
int widget; /// <summary> document widget </summary>
int widgetsCousin;
you will end up with the documenation being attached to widgetsCousin
Is there a way to do this neatly?
I would prefer the above to:
..
<summary> I want to document wibble </summary>
int widget;
<summary> I want to document widgetsCousin</summary>
int widgetsCousin;
..
Any idea? I couldn't see how.

Currently, there is no built-in method for inline documentation comments. As
your methods should be "black boxes", there is no reason to document inline
comments.
