VSdocman can automatically assign all members to their help topics. This feature is extremely useful in team work in conjunction with Source Safe and absolutely necessary for class libraries or controls developers. When distributing controls, all public methods and properties have to be documented very well for end user. With VSdocman it is a matter of a couple of seconds.
Creating context sensitive documentation
There are two types of context-sensitive help:
- Whole topic is shown when you position cursor on some member in source code or Object Browser and press F1.
- Quick summary is shown in IntelliSense and Object Browser.
All you have to do is to check one check-box in properties dialog (see Context Help Options) and select the output format that supports context sensitive help (Help 2 or CHM). Topics in generated documentation will be automatically assigned to their members in source code. Getting context help on the member is then very simple.
