Sandcastle

Documentation compilers for managed class libraries
Announcing Sandcastle
We will be releasing the CTP version of Sandcastle shortly. There are couple places (download at our download center and also as a part of VS SDK) we are targeting to release our CTP version. Also as soon as the CTP is posted I will provide the information here so that you can download and use Sandcastle. In addition we plan to include Sandcastle in our August CTP release of VS SDK.

 

Mission Statement:

Enable managed class library developers throughout the world to easily create accurate, informative documentation with a common look and feel

 

Sandcastle Overview:

  • Produces quality, comprehensive, familiar MSDN-like documentation.
  • Works with or without authored comments.
  • Supports Generics and .NET Framework 2.0
  • Sandcastle has 2 main components (MrefBuilder and Build Assembler)
  • MrefBuilder generates reflection xml file for Build Assembler
  • Build Assembler includes syntax generation, transformation..etc
  • Sandcastle is used internally to build .Net Framework documentation

Any chance this will be released BEFORE the next VS SDK?  Sorry, but you've got us all pretty antsy for this.

Looking forward to the release. Building code comment pages is a feature I really missed from VS2003 ... what's the history behind it being missing in VS2005?
