I have xml summary comments for each and every function and class of my windows project. Now I want to generating the XML Documentation File. I gone through the following link, but the Option was not there in my Solution explorer.

When in VS 2008 if a developer hits the ''' it generates the XML comment tags for you, but this only works when the project setting for "Generate XML documentation file" is checked. Is there a way to tell VS to generate the XML Comment tags, regardless of the project setting? I think it is possible that someone may want comments but not create a XML documentation file. In this case I am exceeding the current Team Settings, yet other developers don't want me to change this project setting. This forces me to flip this back before checking in the project. I have the same problem with other Project settings like "code Analysis". This is only a problem for VB.NET projects.

One of the Projects in my VB.NET Solution seemed unwilling to let me write XML Documentation in my code. When tapping ''' on the line directly above a method declaration, nothing would happen. The project consisted of modules and classes only(no forms), so I initially thought that had something to do with it.
Later I found that under project properties and the Compile tab, the "Generate XML documentation file" checkbox was left unchecked. Checking this instantly allowed me to place the comments normally. After doing some testing, I also found that Creating an Empty project leaves the checkbox unchecked, while creating a Windows Application automatically checks it.
Is there a macro in the Visual Studio editor to remove all comments from a VB.NET source file?
View 2 RepliesI've noticed that in C# XML comments and code comments can have different colors by changing the settings in Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors > Display Items:
- Comment: controls code comments XML comment: controls XML comments
This works well in C# <summary>This XML comment is green</summary>

Here at my company we have an Access application that allows users to create documents based on invoices that are in Great Plains, an accounting program. Documents such as invoices, packing lists, export documentation, etc., etc.This application is very old and very hard to maintain so we're doing a rewrite and I've chosen this project to be my first Visual Basic .NET project.Basically what the application is going to do is allow users to do the following:
Pull up invoice information and then add some secondary information such as comments and the like Choose which documents they want to print out Open the documents and then allow the user to edit the documents That last part is the tricky part. The users right now create these documents out of Access and print to a PDF and then edit the PDF with comments that can be specific to the document and customer. If they didn't have to do that, then I could just used canned reports or something.
What I am thinking of doing is creating Word templates with text boxes and inside those text boxes adding addressable bookmarks. When the user goes to print the documents, open Word, populate the bookmarks from the database (SQL Server) and then that will let them draw text boxes and fill them with whatever they want before they print the documents and then they can save them.
Here's the code I worked out to do this (of course the final result will be much more complex):
Public Const wdPageBreak = 7
Dim oWord As Word.Application
Dim oDoc As Word.Document

This might seem like an odd question, but is there a way to make it so that any form that is created based on another, would have some comments in the code behind of the new form?
For example, i create a form called frmONE, and i put in code like this:
Overridable Sub frmONE_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

View 3 RepliesI am trying to use the xml comments suggested (with VB in a ASP.net project in Visual Studio 2008).I want to give examples of how to use a class, for example, so I write [code]This is readable in the code itself, but the resulting help information in the Object Browser is unusable.The summary, parameters and returns stuff is OK,but the example code is all as one block, with a single space instead of the line endings.I know that most XML treats all whitespaces the same (space, line ending, etc.) but since <code> is described as being for multi-line code blocks, I expected it to respect line endings and indentation.Ideally it would colour-code the code as visual studio does, but the least it should do is respect space (similar to the HTML <pre> tag).Otherwise how is it useful for multi-line code blocks?

View 3 Replieshow to call or reference an item from an xml document. I hava a java app that i'm converting over to vb.net. The java application uses the digester class to to parse the information. The app uses 2 classes and the xml file. one class is the Vb.net Parameter class (fully converted from Java to vb.net) that pulls the information out of the xml document and then places it when called into the 2nd class file.
I'm pretty sure that i need to use the system.xml class to do this however i'm having or just not reading the examples properly.
I have partially converted the code over to vb.net, it still has some java references.

I'd like to realize a plugin for MC with Windows Seven but I have a problem: I don't know how I could access to tags and comments of a file. I know how to get 'system properties' (creation date, lenght, ...) but I ignore how to get metadata like tags or comments.
View 2 RepliesI'm currently having issues with the following scenario:
1. I will build several DLLs with "Generate XML Documentation" set.
2. The DLL and XML files are copied onto another server (the build drop).
3. The copy will fail as the XML files are being locked by other users referencing these DLLs from their open Visual Studio projects.
Note that this also occurs on a local computer; open up two Visual Studios and use reference paths to reference the Binary folders. You'll find that the refrencing instance of Visual Studio will lock up the XML files causing the first Visual Studio to have problems compiling.
1. Is this a bug in Visual Studio 2008? Why is it holding exclusive locks on these files from the other computers? Is there a fix for this?
2. Is there a way to "package" the XML file into the DLL? I've noticed a lot of other .NET DLLs in the world that include all of their comments INSIDE of the DLL. No XML files necessary. (unless they're not .NET dll's).We're doing a lot of framework development here and it's imperative to include the XML documentation... unfortunately we've had to disable it to allow new builds to trickle through.
I have used Visual Basic 2008 for a while now and i have never came across this problem, when i try to build my application i get the following two errors...
Quote:
Unable to copy file "objReleaseParent Pro.xml" to "binReleaseParent Pro.xml". The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

I know how to use the <include> keyword from my code to refer to a member in an external comments file. Something like: <include file="Comments.xml" path="Docs/ClassName/Members[@name='DoIt']/*" /> However, I have members in the Comments.xml file which are repeated that I would like to split out and refer to within the Comments.xml file itself. As an example, it could be an argument definition that is used multiple time. I've tried the same format as above, but it doesn't work.

How do I edit JPG File Title, Subject, Comments, and Tags/Keyowrds?The Exif information provided was helpful, but in the end did not actually solve the real riddle I was working on. So I'll take another angle at describing the desired result:
I want my VB.NET app to allow me to edit the following details of a Jfile (see image):
Title, Subject, Comments, and Tags/Keyowrds
I had a handy image to include but not enough points to post it. Weak.
RIGHT CLICK A .JPG IN WINDOWS and select PROPERTIES
Win XP: Select the "Summary Tab" and Look at the "Description" group
Win7/Server 2008R2: "Details Tab" and look at "Description" group
how to edit those fields through VB.net in Visual Studio?
EDIT: The ultimate goal is to use the image viewer/editer that I built, to sort thousands of images of random webjunk I have collected over the years.Upon viewing the image (say "00001.jpg") and figureing out what it is ("ceiling cat sends son" picture of a lol cat), I want to type in the description (already done in the form). When I hit enter I want to rename the file (from "00001.jpg" to "ceiling-cat-sends-son.jpg", then fill in the keywords, title, subject, and comments fields with the same data: "ceiling cat sends son".
local indexing and with my (later) automating a SQL server referential database for use with site wide searches on my website. The ONLY thing I can't seem to figure out is how to modify those four fields as if I had right-clicked the file and added the keywords.
when I generate my <appname>.exe file, the summary properties fields are all empty. There must be a way I can add this, but I haven't found it yet. I am running VisualBasic .Net 2003 standard edition.b
