NinjaTrader has description field to each input field as well as the indicator itself. It seems MC.Net does not have that. So When I give my indicator to my friend, I had to write up a description doc outside of the indicator (like in Word).

I then found workaround by creating a string input field to store the description:

 
Code
		[Input]
        public string Description { get; set; }	
Description="this is a ABC indicator";
But it still has its drawback. So just wonder whether there is a better way that I didn't find out

That's correct. I think that your approach is already one of the best workarounds.

I personally always put multi-line comments in the top of the source code, assuming people look at the script's source code before using it.
