Generate Help Files from your Visual Studio XML Comments

If you want to generate Help Files from your Visual Studio XML Comments, there are numerous tools available to accomplish this including Doxygen and Sandcastle HelpFile Builder, but there are very few tools I found which integrate with the Visual Studio IDE.

I ended up looking at the following tools as options to generate Help Documentation directly from within Visual Studio:

  1. VSDocMan: http://www.helixoft.com/vsdocman/overview.html
  2. GhostDoc: http://submain.com/products/ghostdoc.aspxv
  3. Document! X: http://www.innovasys.com/product/dx/overview
  4. Doc-O-Matic: http://doc-o-matic.com/
  5. Help+Manual: http://www.helpandmanual.com/index.html
Out of all of the available options, GhostDoc offers the cheapest solution for a Personal User License at a cost of only $50/user!
