= XML Code Documentation =
In the past we used NDoc to create API documentation of our sources. The NDoc project has been abandoned in 2007, but thankfully Microsoft has finally released a tool called 'Sandcastle' to generate help text from Visual Studio XML code comments.

This section explains how to generate help files from the EwE code documentation.

 * Download and install Sandcastle [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E82EA71D-DA89-42EE-A715-696E3A4873B2&displaylang=en here]
 * Sandcastle has no GUI front-end. For this, download and install Sandcastle Help File Builder [http://www.codeplex.com/SHFB here]

Once Sandcastle and Sandcastle help file builder are installed, you can generate the EwE6 API help file:

 * Open Sandcastle Help File Builder and load the EwE6 help file project. This project is included with the EwE6 sources at Ecopath6\Sources\Documentation\EwECore.shfbproj
 * To Build documentation, Click on Documentation > Build Project
 * To View documentation, Click on Documentation > View Help File > View Help File

The API code documentation can be accessed online [http://webservice.ecopath.org/Help/index.aspx here].
