Is there a point in writing the member type of a class for each class member?

Question

Is there a point in writing comments in code like this?

/// <Remarks>
/// Name of abc - public property.
/// </Remarks>

In visual studio, the intellisense has icons for each type of class member (field, property, etc), so I don't see the point of this. In my current shop we are only using Visual Studio anyway, which provides those icons.

Thanks

Seems fairly useless to me. I'd avoid it, because, as you say, it is something that can be inferred from the code, trivially. (edit: FWIW, maybe it is useful for some tool your organisation runs to do documentation, and the tool is not smart enough to detect properties vs fields, but I doubt this is the case. Nevertheless, that is a potential reason to encode 'redundant' data into the comments (to satisfy a tool (human or not :P)).
