I'm now trying to do what really should be very core to any enterprise that is serious about using SOA and web services - making sure that there is an easy way to document your services and to keep that documentation available and updated. Well, it has turned out to be much more painful than I would...

The team behind Microsoft Sandcastle released a new CTP of Sandcastle yesterday. A couple of changes have been made to the components that will make the previous version of my MSBuild Script for Sandcastle fail. Therefore, you'll need to download the latest version of the scripts if you want it to work...

Welcome to part 3 of my Sandcastle under the hood-series. In part 2 , which focused on all the different components available to use in the BuildAssembler, I promised you a walkthrough of the sandcastle.config that was delivered in the July CTP of Sandcastle . So here we go! Input to BuildAssembler First...

In my previous post , I talked you through the first steps of the Sandcastle build process. So far it's been more or less simple xsl transforms, but now we're getting to the fun part - the BuildAssembler. The BuildAssembler is actually just a small console application that runs an XML document through...

Well, today I've been diving into the innards of Sandcastle. In lack of proper documentation I've relied on ildasm, some trace output and some common sense. Now, I don't know how much of this that is actually correct, but I suspect that at least most of it is rather close to the truth. Assuming you already...

Are you, as I am, curious about what actually goes on behind the scenes in the Sandcastle BuildAssembler? Well, here's a tip that will give you data enough to investigate it the entire weekend!

Final update Sorry, I'm not able to figure out what's wrong with this, and since Frank has a better solution for Visual Studio integration, I'm cancelling this attempt. If you're interested in the source code, send me an email! I think it's better if I focus my efforts on the MSBuild script instead....

As you may have seen in previous posts from me, I've created a MSBuild script that makes it easier to create Sandcastle documentation files. But hey, why stop there? Wouldn't it be nice if the whole process was integrated in Visual Studio like all other products? Well, I couldn't help myself, so I tried...

Just thought I'd let you know how to modify the msbuild script from my last post to work with different setups. Instead of extracting the Sandcastle.zip file to c:\Program Files\MSBuild, extract it to the equivalent MSBuild folder (d:\Program\MSBuild or whatever) Open up the Sandcastle.targets file in...

Som jag skrev i det föregående inlägget så är Microsoft på väg att släppa Sandcastle, deras egna dokumentationskompilator, till allmänheten. Tyvärr har CTPn fortfarande inte dykt upp, men nu finns iallafall en ny blog som nog är värd att hålla ett öga på de närmaste dagarna. Lite tråkigt är att Kevin...
