    I just finished porting my C++ classes over to C# and now I want to document everything. In other words, I want to put the usual /// comments on top of every class and public member. I've started doing it manually, but it seems to me like there ought to be an easier way. I mean, it's a pain to have to write out the opening and closing tags for the summary, params, remarks, etc. So I'm wondering if there's a tool out there that can scan a .cs file, list all the public classes and members in a tree pane (on the left) and allow me to fill in the appropriate doc sections (on the right). This would allow me finish my task sooner, more accurately, and with less typing. Anyone know of something like this, of should I start thinking about creating one? Thanks, Alvaro

            Hello, I agree with you. Doxygen is great. But it will be also great to have some kind of tool as described working with the .NET documentation system. Have a nice day, R. LOPES Just programmer.

              What about NDOC? You can then use the VSHK to convert the CHM into a .NET help project. Jarrod
