How to get Intellisense to display the meaning of an enum value
In VS 2008 simply use the standard XML commenting syntax. I assume (but have no way of checking) that it's the same in VS 2005?
''' <summary>
''' Overall description
''' </summary>
Public Enum Foo AS Integer
''' <summary>
''' Specific value description
''' </summary>
First,
''' <summary>
''' etc.
''' </summary>
Second
End Enum
In C#, you do it like this:
enum Test
{
/// <summary>
/// The first value.
/// </summary>
Val1,
/// <summary>
/// The second value
/// </summary>
Val2,
/// <summary>
/// The third value
/// </summary>
Val3
}
So, in VB you would just add the XML comment summary above the enum value.
