Code documentation generator for .NET that generates class library documentation from .NET assemblies and the XML documentation files generated by the C# or Visual Basic compiler.
NDoc3 uses documenters to generate documentation in several different formats, including the MSDN-style HTML Help format (.chm) and the MSDN-online style web pages.
NDoc3 is based on NDoc, which unfortunately is not being developed anymore. Because of this NDoc3 are very much like NDoc. The real differences lies in .NET 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 support.

Latest version: 1.4.0
Added 2005-01-02
Documentation system for C++, C, Java, Objective-C, IDL (Corba and Microsoft flavors) and to some extent PHP, C# and D.
Doxygen can help you in three ways:
1. It can generate an on-line documentation browser (in HTML) and/or an off-line reference manual (in $\mbox{\LaTeX}$) from a set of documented source files. There is also support for generating output in RTF (MS-Word), PostScript, hyperlinked PDF, compressed HTML, and Unix man pages. The documentation is extracted directly from the sources, which makes it easier to keep the documentation consistent with the source code.
2. You can configure Doxygen to extract the code structure from undocumented source files. This is useful to quickly find your way in large source distributions. You can also visualize the relations between the various elements by means of include dependency graphs, inheritance diagrams, and collaboration diagrams, which are all generated automatically.
3. You can even "abuse" doxygen for creating normal documentation (as I did for this manual).

This application will allow any .NET language to create the same XML Comment file that C# and J# creates.
By using this application, you will be able to give your applications full Intellisense abilities. C# and J# are the only languages that have built in support in the compiler to create the XML Comment file used by Visual Studio .NET for Intellisense information. XML Comments Creator brings the rest of the .NET languages to the same level by allowing them to create a correctly formatted comment file. All the features of the C# and J# comments, including validation, has been included in this application.

Free documentation system for the VB.NET programming language. It adds support for the "forgotten" XML documentation as it is provided in C#.
VB.DOC extracts the XML comments in your source code to a single XML file that has exactly the same structure as the one witch is generated by the C# compiler with the /doc switch. So, you can process this file with the same tools that are used for C#, for example NDoc.
