[Kevin]

Hi!
How can I generate documentation for my asp.net 2.0 application?

Thanks

Hi Kevin,

For ASP.NET 2.0 web application, it will be a bit different to generate the
document compare to other kinds of projects. By default, the website web
project model does not support generating an central "XML documentation
file"(in its build setting). However, after VS 2005 SP1, there comes a new
web project type "Web Application Project", this project support the VS
2003/ASP.NET 1.1 project model that can help generate central precompiled
assembly and also "XML documentation file". Therefore, if possible, you can
consider using the ASP.NET "web application project" for normal automatic
document generation:

x

There are also some commercial tools for ASP.NET web application documen
generation:

BTW, as long as you get XML documentation file, you can generate document
through some DOC generation tools such as NDoc or the SandCastle:
