thanx open-collar for your suggestion,
in the meanwhile sandcastle was exactly what i'm using...
I had no problem using it, because the gui is excactly the same like the
beloved NDoc.
PS:
I tried also NDoc 2005 but it still has some problems...

thanx for all
giacomo

I haven't fully checked your error, but you should note the NDoc only
supports .Net 1.0 and 1.1.  Sadly the project is pretty much dead.  If you
need an alternative I suggest you look at Sandcastle and Sandcastle Help
File Builder.
