What happened to nDoc?

Mar 5, 2006

I used nDoc all the time back in the days of Visual Studio 2003. nDoc is a tool that creates documentation based upon the XML comment you write in your source code files. Then came VS 2005 and, as far as I understand, nDoc had to be rewritten in order for Generics to work. That was back in the Whidbey beta 1 time frame in late 2004, and is still stuck there.

I have searched the web many, many times, trying to find a substitute to nDoc. I didn't find squat. I haven't been able to create source code documentation in Visual Studio 2005 and I've been using it for about a year now. That's a long time without documentation.

If you know of a code comment documentation tool for VS 2005, please make a comment about it. Your help is much appreciated.

There is a version made that supports .Net 2.0 with basic generics support.

Here is the link to the nDoc binary.

nDoc 2.0 is still in development at the moment and I hope to see a release soon.

I've tried the version above and it works just fine for me.


Good luck with it.

Thank you very much. This build actually works. I tried the beta once, but never got it to work. But this works like a charm - even with generics!! You just made my day Smile
