Hi Pollux,

Yeah i did try that way. You get couple of netmodules right? But it doesn't work in my computer. The parent.dll seems to be not working. I can't call Animal or Human class at all.

Well i able to get intellisense to work now with the solution i provided earlier.

When i type

Animal aVar = new (intellisense popup and point on Animal) Animal();
aVar.(intellisense popup, and i selected showmessage)showmessage();

For tooltips, I am not that sure, but I think if you add xml comments, it will appear.

Thanks for replying back. :) So is everything okay.
