Hi!
First of all, Visual Assist ist great! What do you think about the following idea:
When you type code the definition of functions or members is shown in suggestion boxes. What about support for code documentation tool syntax style. I would suggest doxygen or JavaDoc style. The description could be displayed in italics, the parameters and the return value could be explained and formated nicely.
Now we have the following situation: If I get a suggestion box the function definition is shown, and sometimes a piece of comment above or below the definition is shown, too - regardless if this comment is a comment for the current function. If there would be doxygen comments you could use them and show the real comment, nicely formated and more compact.
Again, what do you think about this idea

| Personally, I think it's more important that VA should format code as it is commonly written. I don't find much value in features that require me and all my co-workers to write code (or comments) in a specific way. |

Oops, somehow I completely forgot this posting 
@Stephen: I don't want the feature to be the only way to comment code. What I wanted was: If there are doxygen or Javadoc style comments present in the code the displayed comments in suggestion boxes could be formated accordingly. If no doxygen comments are present the default comments are shown, as it is now.
@support: This tool looks great. However, I didn't want doxygen or Javadoc writing support in Visual Assist, I wanted doxygen comment support when displaying comments in suggestion boxes.
