Hi.

In a forms project VB.net VS2010.
I have a form with it's controls and some attributes that I defined. What I want to do is show in Intellisense a small description of what the attribute means.
I know you can do it for functions but I am not so sure for variables.

Public Class Form1
   Dim totalOrders as Integer 'Holds the total amount of orders 
   Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
     'some code 
   end sub
end class

I think that you want to show description of any attributes and function at run time.

You can achieve with following line of code.

<br />
Public Class Form1<br />
<pre lang="vb">'''<Summary>Holds the total amount of orders</Summary>   'This will be display description at run time when you user this variable<br />
 '''<Remarks>Add your Remark here.</Remarks><br />
Dim totalOrders as Integer</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load<br />
   'some code<br />
end sub<br />
<br />
