Building and Viewing the Documentation

Building and Viewing the Documentation

Once you are ready to build the documentation, click the Build the Help File button in the toolbar (see Figure C-10).

Figure C-10

You will be asked to save the project. Name it Documentation. Sandcastle will then generate the documentation. Afterward, you can view it by clicking the View Help File From Last Build button in the toolbar (see Figure C-11).

Figure C-11

Figure C-12 shows the generated documentation (the tree view on the left is shown with all the nodes expanded to reveal the full documentation).

Figure C-12

Let's just take a look at the documentation for the overloaded Length() method as illustrated in Figure C-13.

Figure C-13

As you can see, the text in the <overloads> element is used to provide a general description for the overloaded method, while the actual description for each overloaded method is detailed in the <summary> element.

Click on the first overloaded method of the Length() method to see the relationship between the documentation tag and the actual documentation, as shown in Figure C-14.

If you had earlier checked the WebSite item in the HelpFileFormat property of the project, the documentation would look like Figure C-15.
