>Also .net is a new sandbox and I was looking for some useful best practices. I know that with XML comments you build documentation directly from VS.NET source files but I remember that only works in C#. Is this the case with your Help Builder?

Help Builde will use the XML comments you generate into an XML file. So if you doc your code those comments will show up fine. If you don't it still will show the methods and properties for classes but you just get no custom docs (obviously <g>) - something you don't get with plain XML docs.

If all you need to doc is .Net and not further edit the documnents then you can also check out the free NDoc which generates MSDN style help from classes etc. Looks real nice, in fact it is a little nicer than what Help Builder gens, but then Help Builder is a little more generic in that it works with classes of all sorts. In the future Help Builder will include better .Net specific templates, but even now you get complete documentation (and in some ways more than what NDOC gens).

Always looking for feedback on the .Net stuff especially since not so many people appear to be playing with that as of now besides myself <g>... I'm just about to do some major documentation for some .Net tools, so I'm sure I'll be enhancing that portion again <g>...
