Create .NET documentation with Microsoft's Sandcastle

Hello all,

This is post for developers who are using xml comments.

The .NET Framework allowed C# developers to use XML-style comments in their code. This feature was added to VB.NET with version 2.0. The compiler can use these comments to generate basic technical documentation. The end result of using the XML commenting feature is a large XML file that is less than user friendly
