Object browser info for your custom objects

[skydiver]

Does anyone know how to create the descriptions (summary, return values, etc.) that exists when you click on specific object methods within the object browser?

Not sure what I mean?

Press F2
See System assembly? Expand it.
See System namespace? Expand that.
Click on the URI class. At the bottom of the object browser you can now see:

Public Class Uri
Inherits System.MarshalByRefObject
Member of: System
Summary:
Provides an object representation of a uniform resource identifier (URI) and easy access to the parts of the URI.

How can you get this detail to appear for your custom classes/objects??

Thanks for your help!

For VB.Net you can't do this in VS2003, it is a new feature of the VS2005 IDE, where you write ''' before methods etc and the comment structure that is the base for this intellisense information appears.

There exists addins for VS2003 that ease the adding of such comments that is also used for auto-generation of documentation, but they will not be visible in object browser etc like the new VS2005.
