I have asked this question here before but was given an answer I didn't like
(stubborn I am!). I believe the way my question was interpreted was not as I had
hoped...so I am trying again.

In C#, code commenting with Intellisense is used. In VB.Net, it's not. Fine,
dandy, but not what I am looking for. I just want to write the XML by hand and
use it in my library so it displays the intellisense itself, not through code
comments <-- normally misinterpreted. Is it possible? Actually, I've seen it
done by these third party tools and would like to write the xml myself so I can
have this functionality (and possibly write my own code comment library later).

Thanks

There is a free Power Toy that does this: VB Commenter
http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/ide/helpfiles/VBCommenter.aspx

What is the VBCommenter?


The VBCommenter is an add-in for Visual Studio .NET 2003 that enables the
following three things:
a.. The Ability to automatically generate XML comment headers for classes,
methods and properties in the VB .NET editor similar to what the C# editor
automatically generates.
b.. The generation of the XML comment file to go along with your VB
assemblies at build time. This file can also be used with the "Custom Help
Builder" PowerToy to build a full help package for your class library
assemblies.
