Sandcastle Customer Projects

We released June CTP version of Sandcastle earlier this week and got some great feedback (and bugs) from forums, blogs and via email about this release. The sandcastle blog (https://blogs.msdn.com/sandcastle/archive/2007/06/19/announcing-june-2007-sandcastle-ctp.aspx) provides details on this release.

Community Projects:

We already have 2 GUI projects available at Codeplex that supports June CTP as I am super impressed with how quickly Dave and Stephan updated their popular GUI projects overnight. See https://codeplex.com/Tagging/TagDetail.aspx?TagName=Sandcastle

 

In addition Dave's project supports VS integration and I have details below on few of the available Codeplex projects:

 

1. https://www.codeplex.com/DocProject - DocProject drives the Sandcastle help generation tools using the power of Visual Studio 2005 and MSBuild. Choose from various project templates that build compiled help version 1.x or 2.x for all project references. DocProject facilitates the administration and development of project documentation with Sandcastle, allowing you to use the integrated tools of Visual Studio 2005 to customize Sandcastle's output. See screen shot below:

2. https://www.inchl.nl/SandcastleGUI/ - Sandcastle GUI V1.3 has been updated to work with Stephan. Also please visit Stephan's site https://www.inchl.nl for more details on the INCHL framework.

3. Eric deserves all the credit for popularizing Sandcastle (since it's first release last July) with his nDoc styled GUI Sandcastle Help File Builder (SHFB). SHFB will be available on 6/25 at https://www.codeplex.com/SHFB

Thank you all of you for helping Sandcastle and Microsoft community. You truly are Sandcastle MVPs. My apologies if I had missed any other community projects in the above list. Please email me and I will be happy to add them to this blog.
