Is it possible to copy the <summary> from another member
In particular I want a Property to display the same Summary as my DependencyProperty (WinFX). But it could also be that I want to copy the summary for some overloaded methods.
I have stumbled across a document showing:
<summary cref=”xxx” />
But this doesn’t seem to work
Copy <Summary> from other member?

Thomas,
The example on that page appears to be incorrect, you can't use <summary cref=""/>. I will file a bug on Monday.
Thanks

The only place I could find it in the Product Feedback Center is http://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx FeedbackID=122242&SiteID=210

There's nothing currently available to do that sort of thing. There as been some discussions on "inheriting" that sort of information from another method/property; but, I don't know whether that sort of thing will make it into a future version of Visual Studio.
Have a look in the Produce Feedback Center, I'm sure there's a couple of suggestions related to that. It's down for upgrading right now, or I'd check myself.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for you replay.
Ok, it's on my wish list then :-)
BTW since youre a msdn moderator, I might point out that I found "summary cref=" on msdn:
