C# XML Documentation Processor Option

[Jacob]

I've seen NDoc for .Net 1.1/1.0 assemblies, but does there exist a
lightweight (or in-depth as long as its freeware) processor for VS2008 which
will create simple webpages which show the comments. In VS.NET, there was a
Tools -> Build Comment Webpages option, but it is no longer there in VS2005
or 2008 as far as I can tell. I've documented my code using the ///
<summary> syntax, but I'd like to be able to autogenerate some simple
webpages like the old Build Comment Webpages tool.

Thanks in advance

right click on the project and select properties
click on the build tab
click the check box enable xml documentation and add the filename for the
xml documentation file

I've done that, but what I am looking for is something to parse that XML
output into a decent looking documentation format such as HTML. I realize it
is HTML and I can write my own, but I figured there should be something out
there which was pre-rolled to accomplish this.
