What tools are available to create a help file in Visual Studio 2010?

Question

I need to write a help file for a WinForms app in Visual Studio 2010. Ideally, I\'d like to use a tool that integrates with Visual Studio, rather than a totally separate too

Answer 1

Here are your options...

If you want Microsoft's documentation generator with VS integration:

• Sandcastle Help File Builder for help file generation
• DocProject to integrate it into VS

Although, it appears that DocProject doesn't quite support VS2010 yet.

For the Non-MS solution there's GhostDoc, which does support VS 2010 integration and appears to be a better solution.

For options that don't integrate into Visual Studio:

• DoxyGen
• Docu
• NDoc3
