Build Comment Web Page in VS 2005
-
Hi all, in Visual Studio 2003, we get used to use the "Build comment Web Page" feature to create web page of the classes with descriptions by xml info. Do you know how to do that in Visual Studio 2005 ? :confused: Thank you so much... :rose: Have a good day. 'Alper

That was actually removed from the product and doesn't exist in 2005. It's amazing to me really, I'd think that Microsoft would be all over competing with javadoc. You can still create the XML file by checking an option to do so in the build configuration, but there's no way to generate the HTML. There are a few options, though. I work for SlickEdit and one of the features we offer does just what you're looking for, check out the product showcase link for more info. There's also NDoc which is open source and very popular. There's another product, too, called VS Docman. Each one does things a little differently, so I suggest looking at each one to see what suits you best. I don't know if you had seen what VS 2003 spit out when you actually created the web pages, but it was pretty ugly. That's probably the main reason they dropped it.
