Document! X
 

We're using DocumentX from Innovasys for generating code documentation. It would be nice to be able to automate the generation as part of the build.

Building of Document! X projects is integrated with Visual Studio -- building a solution containing Document! X projects will also build the documentation projects (Visual Studio solutions can be included in a build via the Make VS.NET/2005/2008 actions). Document! X doesn't provide a way to automate building outside of Visual Studio.

From the good people at Innovasys:

Unattended documentation builds are supported through the Document! X Automation license (priced at £995 or available free if you hold 5 or more Document! X licenses). The Automation License includes:

1. A Command Line build utility (with VB6 source code).
2. Access to the Document! X COM APIs for more low level integration.
3. Innovasys Support for use of Document! X in an automated build environment.
4. Entitlement to install Document! X on up to 2 'build machines' plus a third machine for interactive work (if purchased separately).
An MSBuild task is also available as part of the automation license, on request.

Let me know if you need any more information.

Support for Document! X was added in VBP v7.
