VBDOX - Visual Basic Documentation Generator

Overview

VBDOX is a simple program that generates technical documentation from source comments. The only requirement is to use specific module and function comments format. Documentation is generated for all types Visual Basic files and also for VBScript and ASP (limited support)

The program can be extended to support different documentation comments and reports. Right now the program has three report generators: single file, XML and MSDN Platform SDK style. The report appearance can be edited by changing either the style sheets or the report files. Number of documentation comment parser is supplied at the moment.

Can be extended to support non-Basic formats (e.g. ABB RAPID Source Files)

Inegrated spell check allowing custom dictionaries.

It is written in Visual Basic 6 and has minimal dependences. The installation is simple as extracting the files from the downloaded zip file. The un-installation is done by first selecting Unregister components from Tools menu and deleting the created directory structure.

Version 2.0 has also BETA support for VB.NET and C#.
