As a few others have posted, it would seem that NDoc is no longer an active project (whether that's temporary or permanent has yet to be established.) Does anyone have recommendations for a replacement? It doesn't have to be free, just something that gets the job done.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Have you taken a look at our product, Innovasys Document! X (http://www.innovasys.com)? It's used by market leaders including Infragistics, Dundas, Data Dynamics, Telerik and Janus to author and build their commercial .NET documentation.
Last time I checked, none of these fully supported .Net 2.0 (though most planned to release an update after VS2005 released.) Since NDoc is still active (though a little behind) our company is sticking with NDoc at the moment.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Just a quick update to my previous post. We have now released Document! X 5, which introduces full .NET Framework 2 support (including generics), the new 2005 style templates and integration with Visual Studio 2005 including a Visual Comment Editor.
Latest news is NDoc is officially dead. On the bright side, Microsoft is working on a replacement - codenamed Sandcastle. The CTP is available, though I've not yet installed it.
As we can see, this thread becomes a place where we can publish the information about commercial products related to NDoc, and we decided to place our post here as well.
We are developing .NET controls (www.10Tec.com) and of course help files and manuals for them. We also modified the original NDoc for this. Moreover, we needed bug-free NDoc, and we also fixed all the bugs we've found in this surely nice product. We wrote the DocMounter utility that is a GUI app and allows you to build XML documentation files and MSHelp2 help files for your products, and NDoc is used as an add-in in our DocMounter
NDoc modified by us (including the full source code) can be downloaded in the Free Stuff part of our Download section.
By the way, our product is very inexpensive and simple in use, but it provides you with all the features you need to build full-featured helps and XML documentation files.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
* open-source (MIT/X11 license)
* supports generics
* uses reflection to generate XML containing information about types
* uses XSLT to translate generated XML files into formats for presentation
* currently only has stylesheets for HTML generation, but docbookx etc would be easy
* runs on Mono as well as Microsoft's .NET
It's very new, and so likely to be buggy, but it's actively being developed. We're using it internally for a couple of major .NET projects.

I've looked at the following products:
- Doc-To-Help (ComponentOne)
- DocumentX! (Innovasys)
- TeeGofer (Steema)
- Help Assistant (Nevron)
- Doxygen (open source)

Hi guys,
As we can see, this thread becomes a place where we can publish the information about commercial products related to NDoc, and we decided to place our post here as well.
We are developing .NET controls (www.10Tec.com) and of course help files and manuals for them. We also modified the original NDoc for this. Moreover, we needed bug-free NDoc, and we also fixed all the bugs we've found in this surely nice product. We wrote the DocMounter utility that is a GUI app and allows you to build XML documentation files and MSHelp2 help files for your products, and NDoc is used as an add-in in our DocMounter
You can find the modified NDoc and more info about DocMounter here:

NDoc modified by us (including the full source code) can be downloaded in the Free Stuff part of our Download section.
By the way, our product is very inexpensive and simple in use, but it provides you with all the features you need to build full-featured helps and XML documentation files.
I've developed a small, simple javadoc-like documentation generator for .NET, called NDocProc. It's available via http://www.lshift.net/blog/2007/11/07/ndocproc-updated-for-c-20-with-generics
Features:
* open-source (MIT/X11 license)
* supports generics
* uses reflection to generate XML containing information about types
* uses XSLT to translate generated XML files into formats for presentation
* currently only has stylesheets for HTML generation, but docbookx etc would be easy
* runs on Mono as well as Microsoft's .NET
It's very new, and so likely to be buggy, but it's actively being developed. We're using it internally for a couple of major .NET projects.
