SandCastle
I haven´t been blogging for some days, and that´s because I have a new customer. I will get back to SandCastle Helper as far as I´m done with this.
The first thing I will do is to remake the GUI. Do you want me to use the old 2.0 way with Windows Forms or should I do it with Windows Presentation Foundation instead? You decide! :-)
I have also started a CodePlex project for this where I will post the full source code:
The CodePlex Project
And btw, I´m trying the new Windows Live Writer for this post. :)

If you read the comments on the last post, or if you have tried the last build of the project, you may know that there seems to be problems with the generation.
To solve the problem asap I need your help. If you are interested in helping me, please add me on msn (vimpyboy@msn.com) so I can send you the latest builds and get feedback directly.
Thanks,
Mikael Söderström
You can add multiple binaries and XML Comments files in SandCastle Helper now. I have also updated the language pack, so if you are interested in translating SandCastle Helper to your language, download the language pack and send it to vimpyboy@msn.com.

In the latest version of SandCastle Helper there is support for different languages (only english and swedish for the moment) in
both the GUI and the documentation! There is also some bug fixes and a new setup.
Interested in translating the GUI and documentation to your language?
In order to do this you must download a zip file containing the language files. When you have translated it, send it to
vimpyboy@msn.com and I will put it up.

Update: Seems to be an error with the localization in this release. I will post an update with the fix and two additional languages soon.
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.

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. :-)
