Is there any way to get Visual Studio 2008 to update .net style comments automatically?


I've been writing a lot of VC++ 2008 / CLI software recently and am using the C#/CLI style documentation:

/// <summary>
/// Function the does stuff
/// </summary>
/// <param name="someParam">Specifies some option</param>
/// <returns>true if it worked</returns>
bool DoStuff( bool someParam );

I find myself re-typing those blocks quite frequently and frankly, it's getting repetitive. Is there any way to get Visual Studio to create / update those blocks automatically as you create new function definitions or update existing definitions?
