NewLine in object summary

Greetings

When setting a summary for a property / field / method etc.. is it possible to have a newline in it?

/// <summary>
/// This is line 1
/// This is line 2
/// </summary>
public bool TestLine { get; set; }

When I set this it shows as on mouse over:

bool TestLine
This is line 1 This is line 2

But I want it to show as:

bool TestLine
This is line 1 
This is line 2

I've tried using \n but that doesn't work. Is there any way to get this done?


Solution 1:

You want to use some thing like this

/// <summary> 
/// Your Main comment 
/// <para>This is line 1</para> 
/// <para>This is line 2</para> 
/// </summary> 
public bool TestLine { get; set; }

Solution 2:

This may be an old thread but I was searching for an anwser while using Visual Studio 2019. I wanted paragraph and lines breaks. The following works well for me:

/// <summary>
/// <para>parameter name="guidType" options:</para>
/// <br>0 = SequentialAsString</br>
/// <br>1 = SequentialAsBinary</br>
/// <br>2 = SequentialAtEnd</br>
/// </summary>

Produces the following:

parameter name="guidType" options:

0 = SequentialAsString
1 = SequentialAsBinary
2 = SequentialAtEnd
