I have always made a point of writing nice code comments for classes and methods with the C# xml syntax. I always expected to easily be able to export them later on.
Today I actually have to do so, but am having trouble finding out how. Is there something I'm missing? I want to go Menu->Build->Build Code Documentation, but there is no option to do that, there.
Exporting is relative to that process. In C/C++ if you want to declare a function to use it without defining it in a source file, you should use the keyword "extern". In the file where that function is defined you have nothing special to make, by defaults things at global scope are automatically exported.
Doxygen (/ˈdɒksidʒən/ DOK-see-jən) is a documentation generator and static analysis tool for software source trees. When used as a documentation generator, Doxygen extracts information from specially-formatted comments within the code.
Actually it's in the project properties. Build tab, Output section, XML documentation file, and enter the filename. It will be built on every build of the project.
After that you can build the actual help with Sandcastle.
