Reference Xml File Documentation?
Sep 22, 2009
how 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'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.

Quote:
Unable to copy file "objReleaseParent Pro.xml" to "binReleaseParent Pro.xml". The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.
AND

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.

I have written up troubleshooting documents for my project and would like them included in my program. I remember in VB6 there was a very easy way to do this with a control, where it already has the help document tree set up on the left and you just set it to point to certain files.
Does something like this exist for .NET? I am aware of the HelpProvider control but as far as I know this just puts in tooltips and opens documents on a button press?

The regularity and frequency of that extolling is an indication of how many people, for whatever reason, don't use the documentation. Some say that I've forgotten what it's like to be a beginner, but I remember using the MSDN documentation as a beginner. I remember that I couldn't always find what I needed and I also remember that I didn't always understand what I found. More importantly, I remember that that didn't stop me using it first every time I had an issue and I also remember getting better at using it over time. So, I'm genuinely interested to know, if you don't use the MSDN documentation?

Here's an example of a wasted day:
(1) I want to find out exactly what Binding.FormattingEnabled does.
(2) I type MSDN Binding.FormattingEnabled into google and go to the page.
(3) I read the 3, 'helpful', line description.
(4) I check out the bottom of the page for references.
(5) Never mind, non of those helped....
(6) I search google and find nobody seems to know what the property does in its entirety.
(7) I open up reflector and spend hours in a tangled web before being 70% sure I know what's going on.
(8) I carry on coding, but the 30% is niggling at me.
(9) Repeat 6 - 8 ad nauseum ...
There must be a better way!
I'm using VS.Net 2008 Express edition, btw.
ETA: The FormattingEnabled property was just an example, this is more of a general question. Using reflector, I'm about 94.314% sure of how it works..

I am simply searching how to obtain errors/warning for each function/member that isnt documented. Im pretty sure I managed to do this on one of my projects, but cant find how to do it here on my workstation. I have looked into the project props, the solution props, but cant find it. I must have missed something, or maybe I could do this at home with an extension.

I was wondering what options i have in order for me to create documentation for the applications i write? i.e. Some documentation for code written and some general comments on what the application is doing etc?
After a quick search i noticed a few options but most seem to be using VS 2003 (prefer something for 2010)

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.

I am trying to add structure (line breaks, paragraphs and code) to the Remarks Tag of XML documentation in VB2005. I have tried many examples from "Recommended XML Tags for Documentation Comments (Visual Basic)" [URL], but all of the examples seem to compile to one continuous line when viewed in the VS2005 Object browser.

I simply want to find documentation about invoke and begininvoke. A member of delegates. simply searching on it on bing and stuff don't show anything. It shows control.invoke, etc.In the delegate msdn entry there is no invoke member. At least not when I look for system.action or system.func.Where can I found begininvoke documentation? what will happen if I put nothing as callback function for example? Intuitively the program simply don't call any call back function but hei, I want to makes ure of it.

Is there a way to include examples for multiple languages (C# and Visual Basic, for example) in XML documentation?
I'm using SandCastle to build MSDN-style documentation and would like to include usage examples for a few .NET languages.

there are tools (SandCastle?) that can generate an MSDN-like documentation (HTML files) from your source code by using the XML comments above members. I am looking to generate a similar documentation (bunch of HTML files that one can link through), except not from XML comments but completely manually.It is for a custom scripting language, I have to document the available functions, and it would be great if I could do that in this common documentation style. Since there are no XML comments to generate the documentation from (the documentation is for the scripting language itself, not for my source code of the scripting language?
What I'm looking for in detail is a way to generate these documentation files by simply supplying this information for each function:
- Namespace (just the name and maybe a description)
- Function name + description + return type
- List of arguments and their types
from this I would to generate a document where one can first view all the Namespaces, click one (they are supposed to be links) and view all the functions in that namespace. Then you can click on a function name and view its description and list of arguments for that function.In other words: just like these automatic tools do, except now I want to supply this information manually.
While writing this I thought of one way that I might be able to do it: just create namespaces and functions in actual VB code (corresponding to the scripting language functions) and generate the documentation from that, but
1) That seems a little contrived especially if a better tool is available,
2) I would be in trouble with the types of functions and arguments, since they would have to be .NET types and not the types that my scripting language supports.

I once was able to insert a Class-Header type XML comment section which structured the describing of a class; I now cannot remember how I did it. I think I either used a snippet or some macro-type character combination that inserted some XML documentation fields which made commenting a class well structured. It may have even been an extension.
