NDoc
Public project, developing a utility to convert C# XML comment files into help & documentation.
Project Start Date: 2003
Categories: XML, C#, VB.Net
I had been using C# XML comment
files for IntelliSense documentation in Visual Studio. With the aid of the
VBCommenter PowerToy, I had the ability to create those same files in
Visual Basic projects.
I used NDoc to generate help & documentation
for my assemblies from those XML files.
Of course, like everything, I have to reconfigure it. I modified the application to accept VB
projects and documentation, in addition to C#. I had an application where I had custom documentation
that needed to be integrated into the existing NDoc-generated documentation, so I modified NDoc
to generate direct documentation hyperlinks and merge documents into the generated Table-Of-Contents file.
I had plans to make NDoc a direct Visual Studio Add-In, including the ability to generate documentation at build time,
either from the IDE or the command-line. I also had designs to integrate the .Net framework 2.0 and 3.0
into NDoc.
Unfortunately, with the advent of the Sandcastle CTP
from Microsoft, it appears that NDoc is quickly becoming defunct.
Oh, well. I still have my mods and use them with Visual Studio 2002/2003. I am beginning to use SandCastle
for my Visual Studio 2005 projects.
