XML Comments in C# don't show summary they show xml

Question

I have regions and various methods within those regions. When I add XML comments to the top of the methods and collapse the xml comment it shows something like "/// ..." which is ueseless. How can I make it show the content inside the summary tag when collapsed.

VS 2008 Pro .NET 3.5 SP1

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you write the summary out all in one line, such as:

/// <summary>My summary.</summary>

... you will see the summary when collapsed.

Frankly, I don't like this approach, because my summaries are usually longer than fits comfortably on one line.
