Is there a "special" way to identify a default value for a method parameter in IntelliSense via XML comments?

Question

As is common, I have a series of overloaded methods that all funnel into a single "master" method. Each of the overloads accepts a different combination of parameters and then passes those values on to the "master" along with some "default" values for anything that wasn't included in the overloaded version. I'm attempting to create the XML documentation for these methods, and I would like to indicate in some obvious way what these default values are.

Is there a particular XML tag that can be used by this form of documentation to identify default values that will be passed on to another method? I'd ideally like to see something in IntelliSense that displays something like Default: <parametername> value <defaultvalue>, although that may be a bit much to ask for within the standard behavior of the XML documentation features.

If there's no "special" XML tag to use for something like that, I suppose I'll simply need to come up with some appropriate verbiage in the <summary> or <remarks> section. Something to the effect of "This will use the default value of <defaultvalue> for <parametername>...". I just think it would look better if there were a way to identify these defaults along with the other parameters.

Obviously, this is not a critical need. I'm simply curious at this point and would like to know if I've just overlooked something. Here is a sample of the code in question. I've cut out the actual operational code in the master method as it's irrelevant to this question, but I'll point you to it if anyone needs/wants it.

Answer 1

Whenever it comes to properties, its a no brainer. My suggestion would be to extend the value tag to something along these lines:

''' <summary>Returns the number of times Counter was called.</summary>
''' <value>Default: 0</value>
''' <returns><see cref="Integer"/> value based on the number of times Counter was called.</returns>
Public Property Counter As Integer

However, when it comes to methods (which is what you originally asked), then I'd go with your gut and include it in the remarks tag or returns.
