In DevForce EF, is there a way to modify the ///<Summary> tags on an auto-generated property?
If I recall correctly, in DevForce Classic, you could 'new' the property and add a new summary, but with property interceptors in EF, this seems impossible.
Ultimately, we're looking for a way to make the Intellisense message, more intelligent. :) The standard "Gets or Sets the X." description is a little weak for some of our more confusing properties.
Thanks,
Ken

DevForce will use both the Summary and LongDescription attributes which you can define in the EDMX or the EDM designer for both types and properties:
 The Summary information will be used when writing the <summary> tag for Intellisense. The LongDescription is written out as a <LongDescription> element (although <remarks> would probably be a better idea). Unfortunately you can't edit any of this information with the Object Mapper; you'll need to work directly with the EDMX.
