Sorry folks, that was me being a Bozo ( but hey, we're all Bozos on this bus < s >

For lurkers who share my ignorance : the /// intellisense only kicks in on the line directly above a method definition. I was trying to do in on a line following the definition

(and yes, I finally cause the type below when I define a "GetDataSet" instead of "Dataset")

>>>>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.
