autodoc feature in vb.net?

Hi,

I know there is an autodocument feature in C# which translates in-code
comments and parameterinformation, etc... into xml documentation. Ideal
stuff for documenting a framework.

Does such a tool exist for vb.net as wel?

i'd appreciate all help on this topic!

Check out the PowerToys:
http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/ide/
VB Commenter

Adding comments to your Visual Basic source code has never been easier.
After installing this PowerToy, you can type ''' followed by Enter in the VB
code editor and the appropriate XML-style comment tags will appear. You can
even create an XML file of all comments in a given class library, ready to
use with the Custom Help Builder PowerToy. Now you can quickly create a
professional help package to support your Visual Basic solution.



To create docs, I suggest NDoc:

http://ndoc.sourceforge.net/

NDoc generates class libraries documentation from .NET assemblies and the
XML documentation files generated by the C# compiler (or an add-on tool for
VB.NET).

After installing and using it however...

It only creates the xml-files for the main-project while it excludes the
other project directories...:(
very annoying!
