What tools are available to create a help file in Visual Studio 2010?

Question

I need to write a help file for a WinForms app in Visual Studio 2010. Ideally, I\'d like to use a tool that integrates with Visual Studio, rather than a totally separate too

Answer 1

As others have said, you can convert the triple slash XML MSDN-style help using Sandcastle on all class-level members and objects

/// 

/// I am a method help Header
/// 
/// info for param 1
/// info for parm2
/// Some Extra Info
public override void MeMethod(SourceElement rootElm, Subject subject){
...

Here is the link to Sandscastle

A more feature-rich help generator that integrates with Visual Studio 2010 and generates multiple help formats is VSDocMan . It includes a WYSIWYG comment editor, and actually comments some of your code for you. Extremely useful
