I'm programming in C++ using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. I want to document some functions and I want the documentation to show up in Intellisense.

According to MSDN, I just need to put the comment before the declaration or after it on the same line. So I tried this:

// This is a test.
void foo();
void bar() { foo(); }

When moving my mouse over foo(), the comment doesn't appear in the tooltip. I also tried:

  • ///
  • <summary></summary> tags
  • Building with /doc (by setting the "Generate XML documentation files" option in the project settings)

I've had no luck so far. Does anyone know a way to make this work?
