How do I put XML code into IntelliSense comments?

Question

I have the following code block.

    /// <summary>
    /// AMethod produces this XML:
    /// <A><B></B></A>
    /// </summary>
    public void AMethod()
    {
    }

When I do this IntelliSense does not print the XML, if I hover over AMethod. How do I get it to print the XML?

Answer 1

You need to escape the XML

    /// <summary>
    /// AMethod produces this XML:
    /// &lt;A&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;
    /// </summary>
    public void AMethod()
    {
    }

This will then render the IntelliSense as follows:

Answer 2

The easiest way is to use a CDATA section:

    /// <summary>
    /// <![CDATA[
    /// <A><B></B></A>
    /// ]]>
    /// </summary>
