"///" style comments from C# in C++? (XML comments that show in Intellisense)

[slugg]

While working in MSVC#, you get a really nice feature for commenting your code: the triple forward slash. As soon as you type it, it populates a comment block with a template. Sweet.

Is there any way to get this same feature while working in C++? Not C++/CLI, but actual C++?

I'm using Visual Studio 2012 RC. I'd imagine that if it can be done in 2008 or 2010, it can similarly be done in 2012.

Thanks

AFAIK, no. The auto-populated comments are for quick set up of XML comments for intellisense, and apparently support for them got dropped in VS2010.

If this feature has been dropped from VS, you can bet there is a plugin to replace the functionality. Probably several to choose from.

I actually have one installed that is JavaScript specific, since VS doesn't do intellisense for JS out of the box.
