Visual Studio: Writing hints visible in other projects

Question

Using Visual Studio 2013 and .NET I've created set of widgets which I want to use in external projects. Each class and method is well documented with the XML-style comments. For example:

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

When I use already commented code within the same solution, the appearing prompt suggesting how to finish the line contains my remarks. Nevertheless, when I tried to generate a DLL file with the code and use it in the external project the comments were not available anymore. How can I document code to make these hints visible in other projects using the compiled DLL?

If you want to use Code Documentation when referencing dll you have to generate XML documentation. XML documentation has to be in same folder that .dll is in.
