Nodebrowser displaying Metadata

Heyho,

it’ll be great if the Nodebrowser could display the info from things linke this:

/// <summary>
/// i describe the purpose of the following method/class/whatever
/// </summary>
/// <param name="myParam">i describe the parameter</param>
/// <returns></returns>

if you build the xml help with a dll and place it besides it, the help text should get picked up… check the build settings of your c# project.

ahkay, thanks. but what about 3rd party libraries without that xml?

they do not have any help information we could display… dlls do not contain information like that.

if you want to add comments to the third party nodes, you need to import all the nodes and add help information in the patch and forward that to the library user…

ok, i see… i always thought, that indfo is also somehow in a dll…

anyway, i built the xml and still don’t see helptexts in the nodebrowser

jep, still a bugger. the help for now only shows when hovering the node in the patch.

fixed now!

note that you can also define a space-separated list of tags that will help you find the node in the nodebrowser
/// <tags>foo bar</tags>

param and return are not yet displayed anywhere…
