Intellisense description in VB.NET 2.0 - does it exist, and how?

Just wondering if VB.NET 2.0 has the same functionality as C# in the idea of intellisense descriptions. What I mean is, if you hit the period key, and the list pops up, you choose/hover over a property, method, etc - and it gives you a nice detailed description of the method, and it's parameters.

Now is it possible to do that in VB.NET? And how.

Thanks!

It works roughly the same, check this MSDN library article.

That's it, huh? Why is so easy for C# (just a line above the proc), but you have to create a whole file for VB?

There's got to be a better way. (At least hoping).

Thanks, though.

Umm, it works the same way, comment above the proc. Here's another MSDN library article that makes that clearer.

Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. I didn't know the syntax for C#, so I couldn't try it out in VB - just knew it existed.

Just ''' LOL (jeez) - This simple answers are always the hardest to find.

Thanks a mil!!!
