Hi,

I'm looking for a tool to help me out commenting our code at the
office and providing good functionality but it must be integrated with
visual basic.net. I don't think I have any other specific
requirements, but if you could provide a few, it certainly would be
handy.

Thanks.

Thierry

When you say "help out commenting" what do you mean?

The only thing I've found for vb.net is here ...
http://www.15seconds.com/issue/040302.htm

found this by googling {"code commenting" c#} as I know there are
several tools for C# so thought I would see if any of them supported
vb.net (most don't).

Here is something i wish actually existed, though i don't think it
helps anyone who would read your comments, but thought you might find
it funny too (caution, some profanity).

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me. Where can I buy the product listed in
http://www.cenqua.com/commentator/!! That's exactly what I'm looking
for :).

Seriously, I'm going to spend a bit more time myself on it. I should
have been a bit more precise on my explaination. Apologies for that.

But you are correct. I'm looking for a product that will allow you to
put comment into your code by providing various default tags that you
just fill in with your own comments.

I found one a couple of weeks ago that was integrated with vb.net, but
never bookmarked it. Pain in the...

Some of the other ones I have seens can build help files using the
comments you have made in your code. Help files that would be more of
an API nature btw, but still useful.

If you have anymore luck, let me know.

Thanks.

Thierry

I dont know that if you are aware of the XML commenting done in VS.NET
itself simply place three /// on top of a function, method of a
variable and automatic XML is generated

                /// <summary>
		/// Method to get user list
		/// </summary>
		/// <returns></returns>
		private DataTable getUserList()
		{
		
		}

Then goto tools -> build Comments web pages

Works fine for mee and its free

Hi,

Sorry but that won't be enough as I need to use as much information as
possible from the comment (or not!) to build API help files and I have
found a couple of very good applications.

www.innovasys.com provide an API help generator (very good one! used
by many top .NET tool development companies!) and an Help file
generator.

Thanks.
