According to this article, it's possible to get multiline XML comments -- instead of using ///, use /** */. This is my interpretation of what multiline comments are, and what I want to have happen:
/**
* <summary>
* this comment is on line 1 in the tooltip
* this comment is on line 2 in the tooltip
* </summary>
*/
However, when I use this form, the tooltip that pops up when I hover over my class name in my code is single-line, i.e. it looks exactly as if I had written my comment like this:
/// <summary>
/// this comment is on line 1 in the tooltip
/// this comment is on line 2 in the tooltip
/// </summary>
Is this behavior actually possible still in VS2008?
