I was elated to find out that I could use XML commenting in my javascript (i.e.):

/// <summary>Determines the area of a circle based on a radius parameter.</summary>
/// <param name="Name" type="String">Give this dude a NAME!</param>
/// <returns type="Nothing">The area.</returns>

That was until I realized that after I did this, my "public" methods were no longer listed in intellisense... :-( 

 this.greet = function (greeting) {
        alert(greeting + " " + this);
    }

The above would show up when I would instantiate var thePlayer = new player('bob'); ... thePlayer. <-- greet would be listed, UNTIL I threw in the above XML comments.

Does anyone have any experience with this and a work around? Being able to comment javascript into intellisense would be very nice!

  • Did you try commenting with *'s or just using two dashes instead of three/ – Larry Battle Apr 30 '12 at 02:08
  • I added the asterisks HERE so the summary, param and returns tags would show up. These are the three that MS uses for the commenting. Also, 3 slashes so that VS would see that I am attempting XML commenting. – Todd Vance Apr 30 '12 at 02:17
  • I'm assuming you only added the asterisks because you hadn't indented the comments (thus getting syntax highlighting) -- my edit should fix this – drzaus May 16 '13 at 19:29

I think if you remove the (type="Nothing") from the returns it should show the members on a player.

  • That's it! Thanks a ton! This is NOW cool again! Guess you can BREAK stuff even using XML commenting. Thanks! – Todd Vance Apr 30 '12 at 19:41
