[.net] Comments and attributes
Author
Is there a way to access code comments such as
/// <summary>
/// Description of property
/// </summary>
in runtime?
I could add a [Description()] attribute but then I'd have to maintain two instances of the same text.
No comments are not preserved in the .Net meta data.
If they are XML comments they are pushed out to a separate xml file as part of the build process and that xml file is what the intelli sense picks up. See http://dotnet.mvps.org/dotnet/faqs/?id=tooltipsxmldocumentation〈=en

Too bad - thanks Z. Maybe I'll look into how to add a build step that can copy comments into Descriptions automatically, should be doable.
