I am developing a .Net library (dll). All the public methods are decorated with full /// comments.
When I hover over one of these methods whilst in the same solution (eg in a test project) I can see the comments as a tooltip.
However when I reference the dll in a different Visual Studio solution, I can't see the comments in the intellisense tooltip.
Is there something I need to do to 'turn this on'? I notice I can see comments when I hover over .Net library methods, for example.

In the project properties, you need to enable the setting "XML documentation file" under the Build tab - and then keep the generated Xml file in the same folder as your Dll.

You need to make sure 'Generate XML documentation file' is enabled in your project settings.
(Compile tab on VB, not sure exactly where it is in C#).
