XmlComment syntax for VB
Where I am at the moment we use: '/ for
XMLCommenting syntax. Originally there was some mention
that, when the VB team add support for XmlComment'ing they
would adopt '@ as the syntax whereas,
Paul Vick has just confirmed that it will most likely end as
'''. As a friend once said to me: Syntax I care zippo about
but semantics, that's different!
I'm more interested to hear about how it will integrate with the IDE than the what the exact syntax will look like. For example:
- How is it invoked?
- What XmlComment structure will appear by default?
- Does it pick up arguments as params?
- Any other specific details about how the IDE and the XMLComment syntax interract with one another.
XmlComments are a really handy addition, and it will be
interesting to see how the VB Team can make it easy for us
to work with them when performing such tasks as adding
<example><code>...</code></example>
sections etc.
