xml documentation, then what? (VS2005)

Hi All,

I am wondering about xml documentation for unmanaged C++. If I use the tags and document my code, I will get an xml file that contains the documentation. I have seen how it is used for things like intellisense and I have seen projects like NDoc for .NET libraries but there doesn't appear to be anything for C++ users.

VS2003 used to have a "Build Comments Web Page" which I didn't really use all that much but now that I have moved to VS2005 I have a project where I could really use this but, alas, it is nowhere to be found.

What are my options

Cheers,

Clint

    Documentation on what sort of XML docs are supported can be found here:

    ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v80.en/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.VisualStudio.v80.en/dv_vclang/html/a1aec1c5-b2d1-4c74-83ae-1dbbbb76b506.htm

    You can also try third party tools such as Doxygen which is similar in nature to the Javadoc tool.
