asp.net /doc

[Guest]

Is there a way to generate documentation from an asp.net website? I don't
see any options for /doc.

Or is there a way to generate the build file Visual Studio uses so I can add
the /doc option?

In VS.net2005 you can right click Properties on the web project and it has
an option for XML Documentation file

In VS.net 2003 you can use the "Tools" menu and then "Build Comment
Webpages"

So I need a web project instead of a web site? That's a beta download right?

He gave you instructions for 2003 and 2005. They are not beta

Thanks, but in 2005 I can only create a "Web Site". It's properties don't
have anything regarding documentation that I can find. I've heard there is a
CTP of a "Web Project" available for download and was wondering if that's
what he was talking about. If it's available when I create a new "Web Site"
under properties can anyone be more specific? (The text next to the check
box for instance).

In the documentation it says:

Have a project selected in Solution Explorer. On the Project menu, click
Properties.

Click the Compile tab.

Set the value in the Generate XML documentation file box

Unfortunately even with a WindowsApplication project I don't have that box
on the Compile Tab (or any other that I can find). I downloaded the April
CTP for a Web Project and it doesn't have that box either. Is there a way to
turn this on/off? I have enterprise team edition for developers.

Nm. I found it, just had to scroll down on the screen. It's available for
applications with a project (even the April CTP of a Web Project), but not
for Web Sites (the web options that came out of the box). It appears to me
that if you want to use the documentation on Web Applications in 2005 you
must download and use a CTP Web Application Project. Hope this helps someone
else. Now to find a way to render it in readable form Thanks for
everyones patience and help.
