Visual Studio XML Documentation...library ?

Question

Hi everybody,

Is there a software/app that could stored all our VS2008 XML documentation comments files in one place and could act as a library for all this doc ?

We are creating many web projects that are all interconnected, and we need to put in 1 place all the XML docs created by VS. So it could act as a place where we could access all the doc and search code or reference through a single software/app.

Sure its XML and we could create our XSLT and transform all the docs, but we are looking first for something already done. Custom app is our second choice.

Thanks for your recommendations !

Answer 1

Can you not use a utility like NDoc or Sandcastle to create your docs from your Xml comments and then hold these all in a common area.

Both of these are Freeware and I know NDoc can produce help files in a variety of formats.

Answer 2

Have you looked at GhostDoc?

There are lots of other projects that do similar things - SandCastle and nDoc for example.
