Visual Studio 2008 hint documentation - not enough information

Question

Is it possible for the tooltip documentation in VS2008 (C #) to display not only part of the document, but all?

eg.

/// <summary> /// Method description /// </summary> /// <param name="param1">Parameter no 1</param> /// <param name="param2">Parameter no 2</param> 

When I hover over a method call, it only displays the text "Method Description". I would like to see options or results too. Perhaps other possible documentation.

I mean, I used the code in Eclipse for a while (in Java), and there was very good tooltip documentation where all the document comment written on this method was written, and not just the text between the "summary" tag. Moreover, it was possible to open the document in a separate dockable window. And the document was well formatted in an XML structure (look like HTML formatting). Here in VS, it doesn't seem like it is formatting it based on the XML tags used (for example, when I use the tag to create a list as HTML, the tooltip does not display the list, but just words separated by spaces in one line).

Answer 1

You will get information about the parameters after you open (when calling the method.

In this case: public void Hello (line param1, line param2)

At the moment you enter "Hello (", a tooltip will show the documentation for param1. After entering "Hello (value1" you will see the documentation for param2.

Yes, I know, thank you.: -)
