How can one enable/achieve XML comments for C++ methods ala C# and VB in Visual Studio 2010? It appears this functionality isn't enabled/available by default.
Targeting initially managed C++ projects.
A:
Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Output Files -> Generate XML Documentation Files.
You will have to manually add all your xml documentation (/// doesn't auto-create a summary template for you). Also doesn't support paramref. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173501.aspx

@Joel: thanks for this answer. I guess the root of the question was whether VS actuall can auto-create that template when typing the triple slash in a C++ code file.

@p.campbell: You could try something like QuickCode, although I don't know if they have a VS2010 plugin. They do have a 2005 and 2008 plugin that might just work. From what I understand, code snippets don't work in C++, but QuickCode does.
