Show xml tag into visual studio intellisense

Question

I added the xml tag to some of my methods but I can\'t see its content in IntelliSense.

Here is my code:

/// 


        

Answer 1

Sometimes it takes time for the IntelliSense to comprehend your code. To verify that the tag is there, try using the /doc compiler option like this:

csc YourClass.cs /doc:YourClass.xml

If the tag is present, then it's just a matter of IntelliSense issue which is usually fixed by its own or by restarting VS

Answer 2

This currently does not work (Visual Studio 2017), and is an open issue:

One way to make it work is to install the ReSharper Visual Studio plugin (but this is paid-for).

Answer 3

This has been finally implemented in Visual Studio 2019 v.16.6.0, only a decade later :)
