When I used to use Visual Studio I could use /// to declare a summary of my method at the and it would autogenerate all the tags and add a line for any params however after installing Visual Studio 2015 I no longer seem able to do this by default. Is there something I need to enable in the settings? I'm coding in C++ however if I don't think that is the problem.

Thanks

This is a Visual Studio setting. For C#, you turn it on by going to Tools -> Options and ensuring that the Generate XML documentation comments for /// is enabled.

There is a similar setting under Basic for VB, but I can't see a similar setting for C++ (I don't have the full C++ feature installed though so that may be why). Hopefully you can find a similar setting.

  • Ahh thanks, so that option is there for C# but unfortunately not for C++. Maybe it's an exclusive C# option. Thank you though – Antonio Gravano Dec 06 '16 at 21:34
  • @AntonioGravano [This answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/4059879/116923) suggests that C++ doesn't support it, but there is an extension that can add the behaviour. – adrianbanks Dec 06 '16 at 21:35

    In my VS Version 16.9.5 it does not work at all :P – Muflix Jun 17 '21 at 20:15

I got this too, and furthermore none of my short-cut keys worked any longer!

Turns out I was in folder-view, instead of solution-view... DOH
