IntelliSense ToolTips from XML documentation file

Jun 7 2004 11:25 AM
I have been trying in vain to get IntelliSense to see the XML documentation file generated for project one, and display the summery notes when in project 2. In my solution I have a web service project and a class library project. A method in the class lib calls a web service. When I create an instance of the web service, the IntelliSense diligently lists all the available services (public methods). The problem is the notes written in the summery tags of the web service XML Documentation file do not appear in the IntelliSense tips. I found this document http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/csharp/learn/whitepapers/XMLDocs.doc Apparently written by Anson Horton, Microsoft, C# Compiler Program Manager. This did not work. I came across a thread in Developers Dex that stated "Sorry but this is a known limitation/bug of the C# intellisense. It will only display the types actually in the manifest DLL." The bottom line question is can IntelliSense pick up the summery information from the XML file of one project and use it in the tool tips of another project or not? If so How? Thank you for your help
