I am using MS Visual Studio 2015 and I am trying to do some documentation and description of methods I made. I use the /// comment and would like to highlight exception class names in IntelliSense popup. So I would like to get result like ... does fancy things and sometimes blows with DivideByZeroException, because you are not Chuck. with DivideByZeroException being with the same color as classes usually are in the body of summary text. Seen the picture below.

How this can be reproduced, please? I tried to look into MSDN database, but I didn´t managed to find a way (if it can be done).

Preface: I am the asker of this question, so this is the reason of "me-style" answer :-)

I had recently looked into this and it seems as it cannot be done as I was hoping. According to this post on SO, and this MSDN documntation, the behaviour I was hoping to reproduce in the bulk of summary text is a speciality of exception documentation tag: 

<exception cref="DivideByZeroException">Thou' are not Chuck</exception>

what might do the trick is <c> or <code> tags. Unfortunately, they do not seem to do anything in my VS2015 Express IntelliSense, so I cannot verify this.

Maybe you can do it like below.

/// <summary>
/// ... does fancy things and sometimes blows with DivideByZeroException, because you are not Chuck.
/// </summary>
/// <exception cref="DivideByZeroException" />

I am using VS2015 community edition.

  • Yes I am aware of this, but I was curious if this "coloring" can be achieved in a bulk of text, not in special part "Exceptions:". – Rao Feb 14 '17 at 10:03
