Generate documentation for .Net 2.0, Sandcastle CTP released!

It was due to arrive, and it finally has. Microsoft have released the first CTP of Sandcastle this weekend. I'm already busy installing it, and trying out stuff for my own set of class libraries. I will let you all know how I got along soon.

Some important links if you want to take a look at Sandcastle your self:

  1. Sandcastle overview. A powerpoint sheet providing a high-level overview.
  2. Creating a CHM using Sandcastle. A quick start in getting a CHM file
  3. HTML Help Workshop. You'll need to download and install this before you can use Sandcastle.
  4. FAQs about Sandcastle. This contains some interesting answers to questions about Sandcastle, as well as links to blogs of people who have already had time to look at this new product.

I worked with Sandcastle this weekend (http://born2code.net/?p=41) and i'll wait for the GUI Tool.

It is far from easy and it costs way more time than our friend NDoc. The only thing is that is fast.

I'm looking forward to your conclusion!

Hi Jan,

I've created a MSBuild script that tries to automate the process a bit. I'd appreciate any comments!

Does anybody know if sandcastle supports VS.NET help collections besides .chm output?

I'm not sure, but since it uses the Microsoft Help compiler, it should anything that the help compiler supports.

Before running the help compiler, it generates all the documentation and TOC's as HTML files. So if you have a tool that uses that information, then you could also do it that way.
