Question

It seems that VS only shows the contents of the summary element, but I would like to see more information like the detail for classes and value for properties. In fact, even if I click on the Quick Info pop-up to bring up the search dialog, it still only displays the summary, even though there is plenty of space to display much more.

If I am going to add XML documentation to my classes, I would like to see more of it displayed to help me in my development. I don't want to add it solely for the generation of (off-line, i.e., not integrated into VS) documentation.

Is it possible to turn this capability on?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Although I do not know if VS has this feature built-in, if you use ReSharper, you can hit CTRL+Q on a method or class to see its XML documentation within VS.
