The shortcut to generate method comments in Visual Studio is ///
(three forward slashes).
When you type ///
above a method definition, Visual Studio automatically generates a comment block with placeholders for the method's summary, parameters, return value, and exceptions.
Here's how it works:
- Type
///
above a method definition. - Visual Studio will insert a comment block with placeholders.
- Fill in the placeholders with relevant information.
- Press
Enter
to complete the comment block.
Example:
/// <summary>
/// Adds two integers.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="a">The first integer.</param>
/// <param name="b">The second integer.</param>
/// <returns>The sum of the two integers.</returns>
public int Add(int a, int b)
{
return a + b;
}
This shortcut helps you quickly generate well-structured and informative comments for your methods, making your code easier to understand and maintain.
