A new VBCommenter release for those of you using VB.NET...

I've just posted a new release of VBCommenter on the GotDotNet workspaces.  This tool has been invaluable to us on my current project, where VB.NET has been mandated but where we wanted to create our API documentation just like a C# project.  However, there were several issues with the 1.2 release that caused us issues, and over the last few months I've been slowly working on cleaning them up.  Major improvements over the 1.2 version include:

• Improved performance - Build times on our (admitedly highly-commented) solution have gone from 14 minutes to 2 minutes with XML comment generation turned on (and about 1.5 minutes without)
• Improved error handling and reporting - I've included the C# Comment Schema from Daniel Cazzulino's Blog, with a few minor modifications to make it validate fragments of XML comments.  This schema is much more accurate than the original included with VBCommenter, and also helped improve performance because there are fewer XML comment errors thrown by the add-in.
• Fixed a bug related to Reporting Services projects - see this Microsoft support article for more details on the problem. 

There are still a few things I'd like to improve, so I've labeled this a "release candidate," but we're using it heavily on my current project and others at my client and things seem to work well so far.

Check out the VBCommenter Workspace Home for more information and the download.

And, for those of you awaiting the source code from my presentation at the Cincinnati .NET User's Group, it will be up tomorrow as promised.  I'll be posting on all of the major EntLib blocks in the next few weeks, using this solution as a running example.
