But the documentation isn't part of the DLL. How can LabVIEW display the documentation if it can't find it?

Appears that Visual Studio saves the method/property data in a XML file 

having the same name.xml and in the same directory as the assembly name.

it then uses this xml file to provide intellisense.

 

to enable this feature see

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/x4sa0ak0(v=vs.100).aspx

 

So could labview use an XML file to populate the context help?

(doesnt have to be VS xml format)
