You might try doxygen, it has support for C# as well as C++, and I think its
support for templates covers generics pretty well. If it doesn't work on
your code, post a small snippet; I've already gotten a few patches accepted
which add C++/CLI support, and improved C# support is useful to me as well.

Our VSdocman will generate documentation with (old and new) MSDN
look&feel. The generics are fully supported.

Try sandcastle:

It is likely (hopefully) to also be included in VS"Orcas"

I installed Sandcastle but I cant find it in the Start->All programs and I
cant find anything in the VS2005 Team Suite menus relating to Sandcastle, so
my question is: How do I start Sandcastle after installing it?

Kind Regards,

Sorry, I don't have it installed on this machine so I can't double
check, things.

If memory serves there should be an entry under Start > All Programs
It should install to: cd \Program Files\Sandcastle
It's a command line app, so there is no GUI to run.
It comes with a help file which is very good.

For example use see:

The example you refer to is helpfull.

You might like to try using one of the several open source UI applications
for working with SandCastle. I use SandCastle Help File Builder
(http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=SHFB) and have found it
to be excellent.
