Looking for a C# VS 2005 Documentation/Help tool

[antoan]

I have tried NDoc 1.3.1 - dues not support .net 2.0 assemblies (have
also tried the hack involving a config file using the <supportedruntime
version="v2.0.50727"> to no avail - crashes) as well as a beta NDoc 2005
(can initiate conversion from 2005 solution but also crashes -
possibly buggy).

Can anyone suggest anything I can use to generate help for a VS 2005
project, or from the generated xml from source comments?

Hello antoan,

GhostDoc, XSLT

PS: it seems to be the most asking question. It raises even several times
in day.

Thanx Michael,
Actually I came across one of your past replies earlier suggesting
GhostDoc and I have it already installed. I am not sure its what I want
though, it is quoted as an automatic xml comment generator. I have the
comments in place just need to convert the xml to sdk like docs.

Cheers

XSLT is all you need to turn XML into HTML.

Visual Studio has some sort of document generation stuff built into it,
but I don't like it very much. Have you tried that? I can't find it
now that I'm looking for it, maybe someone else knows about it.

Hi antoan,
here is a tool which will create documentation from XML comments, it is a
commercial app so you would have to part with some cash

Are you talking something like this?

Maybe it is not what you want.
