Hi Cathi -
Using VS .NET 2003 and MM .NET 1.0
Ran into this again, I check the setting in Tools/Options/Text Editing/C#/Formatting and Smart Comment Editing is definitely checked.
I am trying to insert a comment using /// in the following code :
namespace Acme.OrderSystem.Business
{
public class Orders : ABusinessObject
{
public Orders()
{
this.TableName = "Orders";
this.PrimaryKey = "OrderID";
}
public GetDataSet GetOrdersByCustomerID(string customerID)
{
return this.GetDataSet("SELECT * From Oders WHERE CustomerID = '"+ customerID + "'");
}
}
}
before the second to last } and typing /// gets me nothing
Fish out of water floundering here.
Suggestions?
TIA
Charles

>>>What Kevin wrote will work but you need to make sure you have "smart comments" turned on. To do this, go to the Tools/Options menu item. Then choose Text Editor/C#/Formatting from the tree on the left side of the Options dialog. Then make sure "Smart comment editing" is checked. This will enable the use of /// to trigger the XML Comment template.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
