How to put summary/comment/help string to managed class/method?

[Ajay Vijay]

From a managed DLL, I expose set of classes and public methods from it. Now I want to add help string for the class methods. In C# (Application or Class Libarary), this can be done by simply adding:

///<summary>
///Your help string here
///</summary>
public void foo(){}

But CLI (managed C++) compiler doesn't understand this. It never generates "summary" for the method! I looked up attributes (like ObsoleteAttribute), but not for adding help string.

Anyone knows?

That's strange...
Acording to this MSDN article, the delimeters for the xml documentation tags are the same as in C#.

Are you using the IDE, or the command-line clr compiler?
In any case, there's the /doc compiler option, and it also says here that
"XML documentation can be used regardless of whether you compile with or without /clr".

However, on the same page there's this:

"Note:
In the current release, code comments are not processed on templates or anything containing a template type (for example, a function taking a parameter as a template). Doing so will result in undefined behavior."

And on the "/doc (Process Documentation Comments) (C/C++)" page, it also says something that might be relevant:
"/doc is not compatible with /clr:oldSyntax."
