XML Code Documentation

Microsoft Visual Studio allows developers to write source code documentation, which can be compiled via third-party tools into API help files. This section explains how to generate EwE6 API help files from the EwE6 source code projects.

In the past, we used ?NDoc to create API documentation of our sources. The NDoc project has been abandoned in 2007, but thankfully Microsoft supports a tool called '?Sandcastle', which we suggest you to use:
