thursday

today I finished the projectplan and the gantt-chart. both artifacts are available on the svn-server. please take a look, and tell me what’s good and what I should improve.

this afternoon I took a little look inside ndoc. and I found out, that the assembly that you need for document generation is only for the methods from the inherited class (ex. from object the methods ToString(), …) and the methods, which don’t have a comment in the source file. the methods with comment could I get from the xml output file from the visual studio project.

but when I look ahead, we should search for a solution, which isn’t dependent on visual studio projects. when we would integrate java projects in the future. they could be built with other programs, like eclipse or something else. and then they haven’t the xml output. another solution is, that I make the xml output file from the project. with this solution the application is more independent from the different programming languages. the generation of the html documentation should be possible with ndoc. its only necessary to make an own documenter. this documenter can then use only an xml file as input. a disadvantage is, that we have only the methods in the documentation, which have a comment in the source file. but I believe, that I can fix this, when I build a own xml file from the source files.

for the moment that’s all.

Would not worry too much about the xml generation. If we wanna build this for Java afterwards, we can still do it then, right? Why not use someting that is already around?
Visual Studio independence would be a benefit.
