C++/CLI Intellisense support for triple slash (///) auto XML Comments like C# to make them visible from derived C# projects
Add support for triple slash (///) xml comment like C# to have support for sandcastle auto generated documentation ad expecially to have full intellisense support for Parameters help and Methods help accessible from all c++/cli and c# derived project that use the c++/cli class and methods

I'd also really like to see the XML comments being extended for C++, i.e. to document namespaces, templates, and such, which is currently not possible.

It's not a difficult concept to describe;
Problem: I have a C++ API. I want to document it.
In C#, I can just type a 'triple-slash' (///) at the top of the function, and voila! - the standard XML documentation tags are automatically generated. I just have to fill in the blank.
In C++, if I do this... nothing happens. It should generate the same XML tags that C# does; "summary," "parameter" and "return."

hank you for your reply, but c / c ++ function annotation style support is very necessary in the development of the input code and read the code a lot of help.
Xml style, such as C #/// <summary>
/// Write the details of the function here
/// </ summary>
/// <param name = "out"> description of output parameters </ param>
/// <returns> description of return value </ returns>
c/c++ style, such as:/** brief $ {cursor}
*
* Write the details of the function here
* @param [in] (input parameter description, including the role of each parameter, the value and the relationship between parameters)
* @param [out] (description of output parameters)
* @return (description of return value)
* @see (this function refers to other related functions, here as a link)
* @note (description of the need to pay attention to the problem)
