What is the name of the tool that allowed VB.NET code to have embedded documentation comments (corresponding to C# documentation comments) that could be extracted by this tool?
I am going through some old code; Visual Studio 2005 era. A trivial example is:
'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
''' <summary>
''' Summary of Dispose.
''' </summary>
''' <param name="disposing"></param>
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
If disposing Then
If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
components.Dispose()
End If
End If
MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
End Sub
There was a 3rd party free (open source?) documentation generator tool that integrated into the Visual Studio menus.
I found it. It was VBXMLDoc, later renamed to VBXC. It has not been updated since 2006. It was freeware (not open source) and version 1.0 was supposed to be commercial (or shareware). But the last version was beta 3, still free. It is still possible to download beta 3. Adding XML comments to the code.
