Source code documentation

GTi
Is there any source code documentation tools available for Visual
Studio 2005 ?
I have created a LIB that must be documented. Must I do it by hand or
is it
some kind of tools to pre document my source code?

Hi GTi,
I was looking into the issue a few weeks ago. From what I found NDoc at
present only has partial support for .Net 2.0, doesn't seem to be any
definitive date on when it will have full support. The only other option I
found was a company called Inovasys (www.innovasys.com) who have a product
called Document X which will be fully compable with 2.0 by then end of this
month. At the moment they do have a beta but it is only available to
existing companies. So if you can wait a few weks this may be worth checking
out. It is a commercial product so it is not free if that is one of your
main criteria.

Hope that helps

Mark,
Tx for the feedback.

There is built-in XML Documentation Comment support in Visual Studio.Net
2005. Here's an example of what I did with it:

There is!? Where? I was firmly convinced that this 2003 feature was

Hello Christoph,

Kevin means that you can get XML documentation, not the chm compiled as NDoc
did.
To turn this on go to the project properties->Build panel-> check "XML Documentation
file"

to be shure that every method/class has been documented check "treat warnings
as error" on ALL

It's not really disappointing if you think about it. If you create HTML Code
Comments, you have created an HTML document. Modifying it to suit your own
model of how it should look is a pain in the butt. HTML is simply *not*
extensible.

But if you create XML Code Comments, you can create *any* type of document
from the XML, simply by creating an XSL Transform for it. You can transform
it in any way you like, and change the format with a simple change to the
XSLT that you use to format it. That is what I did in the page I mentioned
earlier in the thread. I created my own XSLT and use it for all of our
in-house code documentation.

This is part of the "new direction" that Microsoft has been taking, and I
welcome it!

I installed a version of NDoc for 2.0 and it does everything in 2005 AFAICT.
Docs look great. What does it not support?

I don't think you understood what I said. That is not what I found
disappointing.

In VS 2003, you could use the inline XML Comments to document your code in
the source code files. The compiler would read these XML comments and
generate an XML document with this information. Now VS 2003 had a built in
tool to read this XML Document, and generate an MSDN like web page that has
your code documented.

The idea was, "We have a tool to interpret the XML document and display it
in a web page to document your code. If it does not suit your needs, then
use NDoc or write your own tool (XSLT, etc) to suit your needs."

Now, in VS 2005, the compiler still generates the XML Document and that's
it. Now the idea is "Here's the XML document, now write your own tool to do
as you wish. We will no longer give you a tool do generate a page for you.
You have to do it yourself." And now as an other user stated, NDoc does not
fully support .NET 2.0 XML code genreated comments (I'll have to look into
this to see if this is true).

What I found disappointint is that they took a tool away that reads the XML
Comment document for you. Most of the time, it suited my needs

It's in the "Tools->Build Comments Web Page" option. I've using VS 2003
Enterprise Developer. The option should be there. It only works with C#
though.

I did a little googling and found out that many customers didn't like it and
it was cut from VS2005. I'll have to find another tool to create my
documentation sites now. The tool in VS2003 suited my needs well. That's
too bad.

I agree with you rmacias, the tool provided in 2003 was more than adequate
for code comments, taking it out in my mind was a great loss, especially if
people are expected to rely on group projects such as NDoc which seems to be
slow in catching up.

NDoc v1.3 does not support Generics. The nightly build does have generics
capability but is still in alpha.....apparently.

The "a version" you installed was either an alpha test release, or a
modification by another user. There is no public release of NDoc 2.0
on the SourceForge website yet!

The XSLT schema that Kevin wrote is a custom tool, and so is the XSLT
processor that he used to generate his web pages.

My custom-built "tool" is simply an XSLT file.

Hi Michael,

Actually, I used the XSLT Editor and debugging tools in Visual Studio.Net.
But yes, that was about it.

I can see your point. I don't know why they left it out. I do know that when
I created by XSLT, doing Generics was a bit tricky. Perhaps they didn't have
the time, and it will be available in the future as a downloadable add-on.

I don't think you understood what I said. That is not what I found
disappointing.

In VS 2003, you could use the inline XML Comments to document your code in
the source code files. The compiler would read these XML comments and
generate an XML document with this information. Now VS 2003 had a built
in
tool to read this XML Document, and generate an MSDN like web page that
has
your code documented.

The idea was, "We have a tool to interpret the XML document and display it
in a web page to document your code. If it does not suit your needs, then
use NDoc or write your own tool (XSLT, etc) to suit your needs."

Now, in VS 2005, the compiler still generates the XML Document and that's
it. Now the idea is "Here's the XML document, now write your own tool to
do
as you wish. We will no longer give you a tool do generate a page for
you.
You have to do it yourself." And now as an other user stated, NDoc does
not
fully support .NET 2.0 XML code genreated comments (I'll have to look into
this to see if this is true).

What I found disappointint is that they took a tool away that reads the
XML
Comment document for you. Most of the time, it suited my needs

It's not really disappointing if you think about it. If you create HTML
Code
Comments, you have created an HTML document. Modifying it to suit your
own
model of how it should look is a pain in the butt. HTML is simply *not*
extensible.

But if you create XML Code Comments, you can create *any* type of
document
from the XML, simply by creating an XSL Transform for it. You can
transform
it in any way you like, and change the format with a simple change to the
XSLT that you use to format it. That is what I did in the page I
mentioned
earlier in the thread. I created my own XSLT and use it for all of our
in-house code documentation.

This is part of the "new direction" that Microsoft has been taking, and I
welcome it!

I just found this thread. I simply needed a 1-page HTML
documentation package for a component. The original VS2003
'Tools->Build Comment Web Pages ' would have been perfect. Oh well,
now I have to muddle through a bunch of malarky just to get a 1-page
document. It would be faster to edit as an HTML text file except
that I want it to be automatically updatable from the source.

Tried NDoc but I couldn't make it accept my project.

I have tested and used the nDoc with Whidbey C# support.

And it works just fine - some compilling errors but I just ignore them.
It give me a nice MSDN look source doc.

This makes it sound like Notepad has a 'save as HTML' when editing
an XSLT schema document. ..Clearly this is not the case. Generating
an XSLT file that works properly is complicated enough to rate calling
it an 'additional custom tool'.

While learning XSLT to generate HTML documentation is all a very
interesting exercise, it is way out of the expected C# development and
deployment workflow in an otherwise full-featured Visual Studio 2005.

Hi Jeffery,

The XSL Editor is built into the Visual Studio IDE. When you open an XSL
document in Visual Studio, it is opened in the XSL Editor, even though it
looks much the same as any other type of code file. You will notice that
when the XSL Editor has the focus, there is an "XML" menu item added to the
menu tool bar. You can debug your XSL using this menu item, and generate
HTML from it using the same menu item. You can also insert breakpoints in
the XSL, and perform watches, etc., just like using the Editor to debug
executable code.

Nope - That link is not working at all.
Anyway - Download the latest source

Exactly what I was looking for.

Mar 17 '06 #30
How is it working for you? Are you using VS2003 and creating help files
for VS2005? That's all the new version does.

Unless I am unaware of some setting changes to get the code to run
differently, there is no importing and documenting support for VS2005 in
NDoc 1.3.1 (including the Jonas version 1.3.1 v16). In other words, it
WILL NOT read a VS 2005 solution and output help files based on the
VS2005 solution and project files.

I stepped through both verion of NDoc's source code and the parser
immediately fails because it doesn;t recognize the newer C# project
files (the parsing works perfectly on VS2003).
I wish people would explain how they got it to work (step-by-step) or
stop tellling people that something is working that is NOT.

*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
Apr 4 '06 #31
What version are you using? I downloaded the version of NDoc from the
nightly build and the version (full project) from Jonas.

I stepped through the program and none of the parsing is updated to .Net
2.0 files. It appears that the updating is for VS2003 solutions to be
capable of "OUTPUTTING" to .NET 2.0.(e.g. the help files will load in VS
2005) NDoc 1.3.1 v16 will not read and parse VS 2005 solution files and
create documents from them.

This constant division of and further subdivision is REDICULOUS! Plus,

You see, I have NO NEED for the xml output - in fact, NOBODY does.
Instead people are patting themselves on the back with how good a job
they did putting comments in an XML file that can be read universally.
Its so helpful that I have to add another "tool" to convert it to a
useable output.

Of course, your XLST may get you by, but I bet its is not an MSDN help
file that integrates with Visual Studio: it could but why should I as a
developer constantly have to "pay" to nbe "compatible" with what should
be simple and easily incorporated into the product.

WTF!

EVERY developer using VS2005 wants the summary tags output directly to
help files and they want the choice of separate cfm and/ or MSDN style
which integrates with VS Studio. They want control over the output and
they don;t want to pay third=parties just create files compatible with
Microsoft.
Microsoft failed miserably on this one and the lead should be fired
immediately for producing crap.

I've come across this thread. I have a similar issue, I wish to
integrate my help files into a Visual Studio .Net project or solution.
The Projects will only have references to the .DLLs and maybe also the
XML files generated by VS from my code comments.
The help files I have are generated using the NDoc tool mentioned in an
earlier message.

Preferrably I would like to be able to select a keyword (e.g. Class
name) in a Source Code and hit F1, this would bring me to windows help
for that particular keyword, the same to what VS does for you right now
but for my own Code.

Can anyone help?
