.NET Documentation Tool Code Documentor 9.5

The .NET Documentation Tool code documentor tool automatically builds comprehensive technical software documentation for .NET Framework applications written in VB.NET or C#. Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Access databases associated with the application may also be documented if required. There is enhanced functionality for documenting ASP.NET web applications.

Reports are created in HTML [sample], Microsoft's HTML Help [sample], word processor compatible RTF [sample], XML [sample] and text [sample] formats. Color coded, syntax highlighted copies of the .NET and SQL code are included with the reports. The compiled HTML Help reports include fully searchable source code, making the
.NET Documentation Tool an invaluable utility in understanding your (or someone
else's!) applications. Versions for ASP and Visual Basic 6.0 are also available.

Changes in version 9.5 of the .NET Documentation Tool are:

• The .NET Documentation Tool now has an option to create XML format documentation from .NET Framework source code. This is similar functionality to that provided using Visual Studio's "XML document file" option (or the /doc:file compiler option). The .NET
  Documentation Tool does, however have a number of advantages over the facility provided in Visual Studio:
  
  
  • XML is created for all members, even if they do not have XML comments associated with them.
  
  
  • It is possible to generate a XML file for any type of project that uses namespaces (even web applications!).
  
  
  • Members are listed alphabetically.
  
  
  • Members not in Namespaces are included in a "NoNamespace" RTF and XML file.
  
  
  • Visual Studio is not required!
  
  

  Note that a single XML file is created for each namespace used in the application that
  is documented. The XML file is saved in the output folder with the name NamespaceName.xml. To get the most out of this output option, your source code should use both namespaces and XML comments. To display correctly in XML rendering applications such as Internet Explorer, the XML comments in the application's source code should be well formed.

SQL Documentation Tool for SQL Server 8.0

The SQL Documentation Tool is a complete database documentor solution for Microsoft SQL Server databases. It automatically creates comprehensive technical documentation reports for databases, saving valuable developer time and money.

Reports are created in HTML [sample], Microsoft's HTML Help [sample], RTF [sample] and text [sample] formats. Color coded, syntax highlighted copies of the Transact SQL associated with stored procedures, functions and views are included with the reports. The compiled HTML Help reports includes an index and search facility.

Version 8.0 offers the following updates:

• Added a Check for Updates menu command to the GUI (not visible in the evaluation version).


• Decreased font size in RTF report to 10 point.


• Added a new project option: Include MS_Description in RTF. If checked then
  the RTF format report incorporates the table, view, stored procedure and function descriptions from the databases that have been documented.


• RTF report now indicates if the database does not contain any stored procedures or
  functions.


• Fixed a minor issue with the progress bar which was affecting the documentation of empty
  databases.


• Improved the extraction of Function descriptions from SQL Server 2005's MS_Description fields.

.NET Documentation Tool 9.2 (C#/VB.NET)

The .NET Documentation Tool code documentor tool automatically builds comprehensive technical software documentation for .NET Framework applications written in VB.NET or C#. Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Access databases associated with the application may also be documented if required. There is enhanced functionality for documenting ASP.NET web applications.

Reports are created in HTML [sample], Microsoft's HTML Help [sample], word processor compatible RTF [sample], XML [sample] and text [sample] formats. Color coded, syntax highlighted copies of the .NET and SQL code are included with the reports. The compiled HTML Help reports include fully searchable source code, making the .NET Documentation Tool an invaluable utility in understanding your (or someone else's!) applications. Code documentors for ASP and Visual Basic 6.0 are also available.

Changes in version 9.2 of the .NET Documentation Tool are:

• Improved the documentation of namespaces.


• There is a new DisplayParentFolderName configuration option (shown as "Display Parent Folder Name" in the GUI). If selected, this option causes the .NET Documentation Tool to include the folder name of files being documented in the documentation. This option improves the display of documentation for projects that span multiple folder locations. For example, if a project was located in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SalesWebsite and C:\components\Web\CommonComponents, the .NET Documentation Tool will create top level folder names of "SalesWebsite" and "CommonComponents" within the documentation. This is particularly beneficial for the HTML Help formatted output. It also makes it more straightforward to document your entire code library and compile it into a single, searchable HTML Help file.


• Improved regular expression pattern matching error handling.


• Improved spacing of links in bottom right hand frame of HTML report.


• Revised help: added SQL Server 2005 sample connection string, added DisplayMethods to table of contents, added DisplayParentFolderName to the list of configuration options.
