VS2012 javascript intellisense field description

Question

Is there a way to enable the field xml tag description for a property? Example code:

function MyObj() {
    /// <field name='num' type='int'>integer field</field>
    this.num = 5;
}

Then if I do the following:

I do not see the description "Integer field" I specified.

Is this a disabled option somewhere? Or just a bug? Documentation for javascript intellisense isn't very prevelent :(

Edit: It should be noted I have resharper installed.

try something like :

  function getArea(radius)
  {
      /// <summary>Determines the area of a circle that has the specified radius parameter.</summary>
      /// <param name="radius" type="Number">The radius of the circle.</param>
      /// <returns type="Number">The area.</returns>
      var areaVal;
      areaVal = Math.PI * radius * radius;
      return areaVal;
  }

in your case:

function MyObj() {
     /// <field name='HorsePower' type='Number'>integer field</field>
    this.num = 5;
}

from MSDN Docs

if that is not working Use the IntelliSense page of the Options dialog box to add an extension as a reference group. You can access the IntelliSense page by choosing Tools, Options on the menu bar, and then choosing Text Editor, JavaScript, IntelliSense, References.

That is explained in These MSDN Docs

Hi! Thank you for your comment. I just realized I have resharper intellisense on, and when I changed it to use Visual Studio default it appeared correctly. Do you by chance know of a way to correct this with the resharper extension?
