VBDOX: Documentation Generator for VB6
Originally published on my old blog at cumps.be on May 7, 2004.
A long time ago I talked about how great NDoc is.
Quick reminder: NDoc generates class library documentation from .NET assemblies and the XML documentation files generated by the C# compiler (or with an add-on tool for VB.NET).
I love the tool, I use it for all my documentation in .NET projects.
A few days ago, I had to make a Visual Basic 6 project. And one of the requirements was documentation. Knowing about NDoc, I went looking for something similar for VB6. There are a lot of tools out there, commercial and free.
But VBDOX is the best in my opinion. It generates the same MSDN-style documentation as HTML, with the option to compile it into a Windows Help file.
It can use an XML style of commenting, and quickly parses it and generates the documentation.
This resulted in very nice documentation for my project.
