Sub & Function Comments?

hi,

im wanting to add comments to my sub's and functions so that when you
call them, in the hint/tooltip that appears, you get an explaination
for each parameter.

for example if you type the follow:

string.Copy("hello")

you get a hint/tooltip:

-------------------------------
|Copy(str As String) As String|
|str: |
|The Sytem.String to copy. |
-------------------------------

is there anyway i can do this for my parameters in my subs and
functions?

thanks,

craig.

You could try the VBCommenter PowerToy:-

This is a Visual Basic plugin which allows you to create XML comments within
your code (a feature built into C#), these accompanying XML files are used
to populate the Intellisense and ObjectBrowser windows in Visual Studio.
