Documentation Tools

Any good tools for generating documentation besides NDoc (can't get it to
work with .NET 2.0) ?

Hi,
Welcome to MSDN Newsgroup!

As far as I known, we could use VS.Net2005 to generate relevant
documentation, just follow next steps,
1. Click "Project" menu ----> Click "Properties" item
2. Choose "Build" tab ----> Check "Xml documentation file" and input the
file name.

I browse an article from internet and hope it's useful for you.
Title: How to: Generate XML Documentation for a Project

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let me
know.Thanks for your understanding!

Thanks Terry!

But I already got the XML :-)

How do I make it more readable like ie. MSDN style. As I mentioned I have
used NDoc before but it does not work well with .NET 2.0 code style. NDoc
does not have support for documenting ie. Generics and so forth...

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback quickly!

So far as I know, VS.Net doesn't provide such tools currently .But keep an
eye out for it in the future. We are looking at continual improvement, and
it's this kind of feedback that let's know what things you're trying to do,
that we haven't yet exposed for you. Keep the information coming.
And let's wait here to see if any community member can shed some light on
this issue. If I know which third-party tool can do it later, I'll share
the idea with you as soon as possible. Thanks for your understanding!
