VSdocman is a tool that allows code commenting and the automatic generation of technical documentation from C# and VB .NET source code files. It is directly integrated in Visual Studio as an add-in.
VSdocman parses the Visual Studio projects and automatically creates the table of contents, index, API class documentation and custom topics, cross-references, IntelliSense and F1 context-sensitive help.
It can read XML comments from the source code. VSdocman contains WYSIWYG comment editor which helps writing XML comments. It is possible to insert tables, lists, pictures, links and other formatting directly into the source code.
The format of output documentation is configurable. Predefined formats are HTML Help, Microsoft Help Viewer, Microsoft Help 2, HTML, Docx, RTF and XML.
History
Originally, VSdocman was named VBdocman .NET because it evolved from VBdocman. VBdocman .NET only supported Visual Basic .NET. It was renamed to VSdocman after adding support for C# in 2006.
