There are three types of context-sensitive help:
F1 Context help To see Visual Studio .NET dynamic help integration including context-sensitive help, go to code editor and select expression with some method, property or other documented member.Now you should see the link in dynamic help window (in VS 2002 ans 2003) and if you press F1, the proper topic should appear.
You can also press F1 on some member in Object Browser to invoke the help topic.
IntelliSense and Object Browser Quick Info If you create the project with reference to your DLL and you use methods or properties from that DLL, IntelliSense in Visual Studio automatically shows their description and description of parameters as you write them. In VS 2005, you can even get Intellisense for members from current project.
You can see the summary information in Object Browser as well.
Property Description in Properties Window When you select any property of a control or component in Properties Window, you can see short description.
This description is not extracted from your comments but from Description attribute of your property. So if you wish to display this info you need to define Description attribute:
<System.ComponentModel.Description("Indicates button state.")> _
Public Property pushed() As Boolean
