Nice! :-)

You said it supports all .NET Languages, does that include XAML?

What about general .NET 3.0?
# July 29, 2006 7:02 PM

aram said:

Yes we do provide XAML support. I have not provided any details about XAML with this release. I will get back with a blog about XAML support.

Internally we are using full blown version of this bits for building Framework versions. I will again get back with a blog about 3.0.

Feel free to send your feedback and it's much appreciated.

Okey, I´m gonna test it on some projects.

Can you blog about how to use existing files generated by VS with this tool?
# July 29, 2006 7:23 PM

aram said:

Mikael - Could you clarify abou what you mean by existing files generated by VS?

Do you mean /// comments in a C# file or the HxS output from Sandcastle which can be used for DExplorer (VS) integration?

Anand..

Mikael Söderström said:

I mean the XML files with the XML comments (///) generated by VS (or with csc.exe /doc:...).

I have some projects with generated XML comment files which I want to test with sandcastle.

Can you explain how to do this step-by-step?

Is it possible to document private members with Sandcastle? If not, is this feature planned for a later version?

Am I misunderstanding this? The directions for building a CHM file look like an engine rebuild manual. I was expecting something intuitive like NDoc. There seems to be no documentation in the installation directory. What am I missing?

# May 14, 2007 6:10 PM

aram said:

NetDave,

This blog is about explaining the details behind the engine.

If you are an nDoc user you can get the nDoc styled GUI developed by Eric at http://www.codeplex.com/SHFB.

Please visit http://www.sandcastledocs.com for additional GUIs..etc.

Thanks Anand, the CodeProject article is just what I needed. Having used NDoc, I was just overcomplicating what Sandcastle is about.
