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.

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
