    Hi, I need to generate release notes from code, but if I use XML comments to let the parser generate the html for me the notes will keep adding up. Is there a way to tell the parser to parse only the tags that have a certain value? Something like: if I want the release notes for today's build, I want to parse only the tags that have today's date as a value. If this is not doable, is there any other way of getting release notes from code without keeping a separate document that someone would have to manually update after each build? thanx

      Simple answer. Do this out of your source control instead. That's the place to put your version information, which will include the items that are being built.

        For SS I use Visual SourceSafe. Is there a way to generate the notes from VSS? If not, is there another tool for this? thanx

            Hmm.. this will report the files with a certain label, but not what's in the text node of that label. But I could make this so it generates a file, and write a small program that parses each reported file and builds HTML from the tags. Thanx!
