Visual Studio 2010 C# Comment/Documentation Generator


Does anyone know of a Visual Studio 2010 C# plugin that will:

  1. allow me to easily modify (or create a new) xml Comment Template. I need to add a few user specific tags to the template. For example, when I'm commenting a method I would like the tag automatically inserted, along with Summary and Param when I type ///.

  2. allow me to modify the html style template that is used when extracting the comments into a nice looking html document. I'd like the documentation added via 1) above to show up in the HTML.


Solution

  • Start with Atomineer Pro Documentation to create/update your documentation (as comments within your code), and then pass it though Sandcastle (for XML-doc comment format) or Doxygen (for XML, JavaDoc or Qt comment formats) to generate external html (etc) documentation.
