Tooltip for xml comments

Stephen,

It's available for any external reference. However the XML documentation comment file must be able to be located in the same folder as your external reference. Otherwise there is no documentation for it to display that it knows about.

Is it true, that only public methods have tooltip message based on xml comments (I don't see it for protected methods but I can see it for public methods)?

Waldemar,

Our code should pull in any XML comments that are available in the .xml file that Visual Studio created, regardless of the access level of the method.

If you aren't seeing comments appear for a member that definitely has data in the documentation comment .xml file for the assembly, please email over a simple sample showing it. Thanks!

I made some investigation and found that problem may concern nullable params of methods.

For example :
protected string AmountAsWords(double? value) // comments don't appear
protected string AmountAsWords(double value) // works fine

Thanks, this is now fixed for the next maintenance release.
