Build me a Sandcastle

After my post on documentation tools and the news that MS had a NDoc style tool up it's sleeve comes word of that tool.

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 

MS plan to "..include Sandcastle in our August CTP release of VS SDK."

I hope they include a MSBuild task.

Andrew,

For this CTP release we will not include any MS Build task. We are look at this as feature for future release. Please feel free to email me directly (aramATmicrosoftDOTcom)if you have additional questions or feature requests.
