I just tried your tool and it worked fairly well. I had a couple crash problems but once I figured out where I wasn't setting something up right I was able to fix it.

The biggest request I would have is to make it command lineable. I'd like to get it into my build process and I can't do that with a GUI.

I would even be willing to help out to get this if you'd like.

Thanks for a nice little tool to help out with this rather horrible MS product. :)

The Sandcastle Help File Builder available at http://www.codeplex.com/SHFB has a console mode version to build projects from the command line. You can set it up to run in post-build commands in Visual Studo projects, etc. The current 1.3.3.1 release only supports a project name as a command line option. The next release supports specifying project options as command line options too. A pre-release of that is available in the Planned Releases section of the Releases page (1.3.4.0 Special).

You can start SandcastleGUI from your automated build process by starting it like:

SandcastleGUI /document [settingsfile]

Hi,

This option was visible in the GUI..... but you might did not noticed it.

PS: I am currently updating the program (again) so the performance is increased when documenting large assemblies and using the ApplyVSDocModel.xls. Check my website again in a few hours.
