C# // vs /// comments
<p>Lately I started using <code>///</code> to comment my C# code rather than <code>//</code> or <code>/*</code> because it is just much simpler to use. Today I started wondering why there were different types and came across <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/181015/net-vs-comments-convention">this SO question</a> which states that <code>///</code> comments are for generating the xml documentation.</p>

<p>I can't find any advice with regards to on type of comments vs another on Google and I take that to mean that it doesn't matter either way. I'm not getting any ill effects so far from using <code>///</code> to comment, but I'd hate to get into a habit now just to unlearn it later. As far as I can tell, if there are no metatags in the comments it does not get recognised as being documentation (or am I completely wrong on that?)</p>

<p>Before I riddle my code with <code>///</code> comments, is this type of commenting a big no-no? Could there be potential problems from commenting this way?</p>
