[RESOLVED] [2005] XML-Documentation (BuildIn)

Greetings,

we like to use the XML Documentation feature in VS. To make the XML Data readable, do I need a XML Reader or has VS something simelar installed?

thx in advance
Manfred

I believe that you do not need to make it readable. The XML documentation is used to provide extra information about functions, classes, methods, properties etc. when it is referenced in a VB project.

You document your types and members then VS will create the XML file. You turn that into an MSDN-style CHM file using a tool like NDoc or the upcoming Sandcastle from Microsoft.

This is the reason to use this, because I need it as part of the docummentation.

Refer to my previous post. If there was a tool built into Windows or VS I probably would have mentioned that in the first place.
