SandCastle Helper is updated with new GUI

First of all, I want to thank you all for showing interest in this tool!

I have been working on a GUI today for this, and I am releasing the first version of it now. I am going to add a lot of features in a while like adding multiple binaries and xml comments files, importing vs 2005 projects and much more. And yes, I will update the GUI. :-)

If you have any wishes, please let me know.

Announcing SandCastle Helper

Creating documentation with the new SandCastle can be hard work. There are many steps to go through each time and you have to do this everytime you have updated the XML comments in your project.

It is because of this I created a tool called SandCastle Helper that will go through all these steps automagically and give you a fresh documentation in seconds.

Before you get started, please read the included readme file. :-)
