Sometimes bizarre things can happen within certain projects (corruption, settings etc.) I'm glad that you were able to still use it outside of that project. Have you tried restarting Visual Studio as well?

Hi Robert,
Please try to create a new project and check the result.
If you can’t reproduce that scene, you could share your project to us.
About share the file in the OneDrive, please refer to:

Are you using C# or Visual Basic?
If you are C#, you might want to consider using it's comment symbol '/' repeated three times :
/// <summary> /// /// </summary> public void ExampleMethod() { }
You may want to ensure that you are typing either your "'''" or "///" on the line just above where a method or function is declared to ensure that it triggers properly.

I don't have Visual Studio 2010 installed locally so I can't really test it within that environment.
I gave it a try in VS2012 and VS2013 and it worked without any issues (you just have to ensure that you do it on the line directly above an existing property, function or method) :
''' <summary> ''' ''' </summary> ''' <returns></returns> ''' <remarks></remarks> Function Index() As ActionResult End Function
Have you recently made any changes within your Settings or Preferences within Visual Studio that might have affected this?

My VS setting is for C#, so please refer to these steps below check your VS for VB.
For C#:
- Tools=>Options
- Text Editor=>C#=>Advanced
- Checked the Generate XML documentation comments for ///
Thanks

Thanks. The weird thing is that it works for one VB.NET project but not another. :(
