Anybody know how I can set environment in C# so that when you will
press "-" sign in front XML doc comment (///) it will collapse like in
VB.NET, With that i mean you will see only summary text and not only
<summary> tag.

Let me show example and results in both languages.

In VB.NET:
''' <summary>
''' Add two whole numbers
''' </summary>
''' <param name="intNr1">First number</param>
''' <param name="intNr2">Second number</param>
''' <returns></returns>
''' <remarks></remarks>
Function AddNumbers(ByVal intNr1 As Integer, ByVal intNr2 As
Integer) As Integer
Return intNr1 + intNr2
End Function

when I press "-" to collapse comment I get nicely only this row above
procedure:

Add two whole numbers
Function AddNumbers(ByVal intNr1 As Integer, ByVal intNr2 As Integer)
As Integer
Return intNr1 + intNr2
End Function

But for same procedure in C#:

/// <summary>
/// Add two whole numbers
/// </summary>
/// <param name="intNr1">First number</param>
/// <param name="intNr2">Second number</param>
/// <returns></returns>
/// <remarks></remarks>
public int AddNumbers(int intNr1, int intNr2)
{
return intNr1 + intNr2;
}

when I press "-" next to the comment I get this:

/// <summary> ...
public int AddNumbers(int intNr1, int intNr2)
{
return intNr1 + intNr2;
}

So what is the point of collapsing of such comment in C# if you cannot
see at the top what is the most important when you collapse comment?

So my quesitons is: How to see same summary also in C# like it is in
VB.NET?

You can't. The C# and VB.NET editors are different; it's not just the
languages. In most situations I think the C# experience is superior, but
there are cases where VB.NET has an edge, and this is one of them.

Yes, I completly agree that C# is more intuitive and more natural, but
that flaw should be implemented by design already.

closer to what you want. That is, move the <summary> tags and content
onto a single line:

///<summary>Add two whole numbers</summary>
///<param name="intNr1">First number</param>
///<param name="intNr2">Second number</param>
///<returns></returns>
///<remarks></remarks>
public int AddNumbers(int intNr1, int intNr2)
{
return intNr1 + intNr2;
}

Not necessarily the "standard" way I see C# docs written, but it gives
the result you are looking for.
