"documentation" conventions and auto checking them

Question

Were defining a C# module to outsource (I dont like it either ...)

maintaining and evolving it will be done inhouse.

Is there any good way to define and autocheck the in-code documentation quality ?

thanks.

Answer 1

How about using FxCop to check to see if the assembly meets your documentation requirements (though this wont be able to check the grammar, spelling and relevance of the contents of the documentation - only you can check that).

Answer 2

MS have released style cop to compliment FXCop http://blogs.msdn.com/sourceanalysis/ unlike fx cop this has better rules and can check amount of comments etc.

To spell check the comment see on my article on spell checking comments and source code for free.
