.NET Documentation Tool – Document Source Code For Free
The .NET Documentation Tool creates documentation from .NET Framework (C# and VB.NET) source code.
Hundreds of organisations worldwide have used this useful tool to quickly document their .NET application source code.
April 2023: The .NET Documentation Tool is now available for free. Please bear in mind the software is unsupported and I am unable to provide updates, fixes or technical support because the tools I used to build it no longer work on my PC. In addition it only supports legacy .NET application code written from 2001 – around 2010. If you have any questions about the tool then post a comment below and I’ll do my best to answer them.
Key features:
- Huge time saver compared to generating documentation by hand.
- Supports both VB.NET and C# source code [though I ended development in 2012 and it doesn’t support more modern language features].
- Documents all types of .NET application, including Windows Forms, Console Applications, Class Libraries and ASP.NET web applications.
- Documentation created in a number of output formats.
- Supports the XML Comments standards as used by both C# and VB.NET.
- Documentation includes the project’s colour coded, syntax highlighted, cross-referenced and line numbered source code.
- Also documents SQL Server and Microsoft Access databases that are associated with a .NET application.
- The tool contains a graphical user interface, but may also be run from the command line.
- An ideal alternative to NDoc, which is also no longer in active development.
