By way of another example, insert a triple slash code comment to your custom five-argument

constructor. This time the comment builder utility has been kind enough to add 

 elements:

///

///

///

///

///

///

///

public Employee(string name, int age, int id, float pay, string ssn)

{

empName = name;

empID = id;

empAge = age;

currPay = pay;

empSSN = ssn;

}

Also be aware that these XML code comments can be entered using the Class Details window

(see Chapter 2) of Visual Studio 2008, as shown in Figure 5-11.

Figure 5-11.

Entering XML comments using the Class Details window

One benefit of annotating your code with XML comments is that you are able to view this

information from within Visual Studio’s IntelliSense (see Figure 5-12). As you would guess, this can

be helpful to other members on your team who might not know the role of a given type member.
