XML Documentation Comments in VS Code?

Question

In Visual Studio (C#/VB.NET, not sure in other languages?), if you add three slashes at the top of a method or property, Visual Studio auto-creates a structured way giving information for the method and its parameters and return values, where applicable. It's useful for creating developer documentation, but mostly I use it to reference information about a method I'm calling if, for example, I have multiple overloads and need to see which one I'm calling. See MS docs link here. Does VS Code have anything like that? I can't seem to find it in the key bindings in preferences. Maybe there's something similar in VS Code that I'm not aware of?

Solved. Single line comments don't produce the XML documentation but the following syntax does:

/**
   * include a description of your method to be viewed when you mouse over the method call
   */
