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

[Bongo]

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.

Is there any onboard app with xp or vs2005 to display the XML Data in Html?

thanks and regards

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.
