When I hit /// in Visual Studio, is it possible to change the resulting snippet from this:
/// <summary>
///
/// </summary>
to this?:
/// <summary></summary>
Here is the solution working in at least VS2010.
Save the bottom code as a file summ.snippet.
Visual Studio 2010 / Tools / Code Snippet Manager
Click import, browse to file. Save with default options.
Now goto your code window and type summ + tab + tab
Result
/// <summary> </summary>
with the cursor in the middle of the tag, ready to type.
Here is the contents of the summ.snippet
