<p><a href="Default.asp" title="Back to the ASP Kitchen">ASP Kitchen</a>: <a
href="ASP.NetArticles.aspx" title="ASP.NET Articles">ASP.NET Articles</a>: An ASP.NET
Documentation Tool</p>

<h1>An ASP.NET Documentation Tool</h1>

<p>This article describes the <a
href="http://www.winnershtriangle.com/w/Products.ASPNETDocumentationTool.asp"
target="_blank">ASP.NET Documentation Tool</a>, a utility I wrote to automate the
documentation of ASP.NET 1.0 web applications written in VB.NET or C#.</p>

<p>When developing applications using Java and Perl, I've always been impressed with the
JavaDoc and PerlDoc documentation utilities these languages support. When producing work
for a client, these utilities take a lot of the hard work out of the mundane (but
critically important) work involved with documenting the project. Following the success of
the <a href="ASPDocumentationTool.asp">ASP Documentation Tool</a> which I released in May
2002, I decided to release a ASP.NET version. Microsoft have made tentative steps in
allowing the automatic documentation of ASP.NET projects, but only if they are written in
C#. The ASP.NET Documentation Tool creates documentation for both VB.NET and C#.</p>

<h2>Features</h2>

<p>The ASP.NET Documentation Tool scans all the following files of a web project, and
outputs a report based on what it finds within the files:

<ul>
<li>ASP.NET file parser extracts content from files written in either VB.NET or C#.
Supported file types are:<ul>
<li>ASP.NET files (.aspx, .asax).</li>
<li>User Controls (.ascx).</li>
<li>Code Behind Files containing the code associated with ASP.NET files and User Controls.</li>
<li>Custom components (.vb and .cs).</li>
<li>Web.config files.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<p>The report contains a list of the following:

<ul>
<li>For both VB.NET and C#:<ul>
<li>Namespaces: What namespaces are in the project, and which classes are in each namespace.</li>
<li>Classes: What classes are in the project, which namespace they belong to and what
functions and subroutines are defined within each class.</li>
<li>Functions: Where they are defined, and which arguments they use.</li>
<li>Subroutines: Where they are defined, and which arguments they use.</li>
<li>Where Application and Session variables are used.</li>
<li>Which User Controls are used in the project.</li>
<li>Which Web Controls are used in the project.</li>
<li>Which Validation Controls are used in the project.</li>
<li>What web.config files are used on the project.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>SQL Server 7 and 2000 databases associated with the ASP.NET project can also be
documented, with the following features:<ul>
<li>Shows a list of tables within the database.</li>
<li>Shows a list of views within the database.</li>
<li>Shows a list of column names, type and length associated with each table.</li>
<li>Shows a list of stored procedures, including the full text of each stored procedure and
its input parameters.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>There are a number of output options:<ul>
<li>Standard HTML: This can be viewed in any web browser [<a
href="http://www.winnershtriangle.com/w/ASP.NETDocToolSamples/SampleWeb.NET/default.htm"
target="_blank">view sample</a>], including Internet Explorer and Netscape.</li>
<li>Microsoft's HTML Help format. This format [<a
href="http://www.winnershtriangle.com/w/ASP.NETDocToolSamples/SampleWeb.NET/SampleWeb.NET.chm"
target="_blank">view sample</a>] has the advantages of:<ul>
<li>The project documentation is contained within a single, compressed .chm file.</li>
<li>The project documentation is searchable.</li>
<li>There is an index of project items.</li>
<li>The project documentation can be further modified using Microsoft's freely available
HTML Help Workshop application.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Plain Text: This is a text file containing a summary of the project [<a
href="http://www.winnershtriangle.com/w/ASP.NETDocToolSamples/SampleWeb.NET/SampleWeb.NET.txt"
target="_blank">view sample</a>]. As such it can be used as the basis of custom
documentation written in a word processor.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>The HTML format reports contain full copies of all files which have the following
features:<ul>
<li>Optional color coding and syntax highlighting of source code, making it easier to read.</li>
<li>Optional line numbering of source code.</li>
<li>There is the option to either colour code or hyperlink all of the following in the
source code:<ul>
<li>User Control usage.</li>
<li>Web Control usage.</li>
<li>Validation Control usage.</li>
<li>Application and Session variable usage.</li>
<li>C# and VB.NET Functions and Subroutines.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<h2>System Requirements</h2>

<p>The ASP.NET Documentation Tool can be used on a machine running Microsoft Windows 95 or
any subsequent version of Windows. Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 is recommended. The .NET
Framework is not required.</p>

<p>The full version of the ASP.NET Documentation Tool is able to save project
documentation in Microsoft's HTML Help format. To be able to do this then Microsoft's HTML
Help Workshop must be installed. This is a <a
href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?releaseid=33071" target="_blank">free
download</a> from Microsoft.com.</p>

<h2>Configuring and Running the ASP.NET Documentation Tool</h2>

<p>The ASP.NET Documentation Tool has a single command line option which specifies the
filename of the configuration file. So to create documentation for the Sample ASP.NET
project supplied, the following is typed at the command prompt (or run from a .bat file):</p>

<p>ASPNETDocumentationTool.pl --c="Config.ini"</p>

<p>The configuration file [<a
href="http://www.winnershtriangle.com/w/ASP.NETDocToolSamples/SampleConfigurationFile.txt"
target="_blank">view sample</a>] is a plain text file containing the configuration
options.</p>

<p>The ASP.NET Documentation Tool can of course be scheduled to automatically update
project documentation by making use of the Windows AT command or the Task Scheduler.</p>

<p>The ASP.NET Documentation Tool creates a log file in plain text format [<a
href="http://www.winnershtriangle.com/w/ASP.NETDocToolSamples/SampleWeb.NET/SampleWeb.NET.log"
target="_blank">view sample</a>].</p>

<h2>Obtaining the ASP.NET Documentation Tool</h2>

<p>The evaluation version of the ASP Documentation Tool is available here:

<ul>
<li><a
href="http://www.brettb.com/redirector.asp?URL=downloads/ASP.NETDocumentationTool_1.0.zip">ASP
Documentation 1.0 Evaluation Version</a> (727K ZIP file).</li>
</ul>

<p>The evaluation version is fully functional, but has a few limitations, including:

<ul>
<li>No support for the documentation of code in ASP.NET Components.</li>
<li>No facility for documenting SQL Server 7 or 2000 databases.</li>
<li>No HTML Help output.</li>
<li>Pop-up window on all source code pages.</li>
<li>A number of configuration options do not work.</li>
<li>This version may only be used for evaluation purposes.</li>
</ul>

<p>The full version of the ASP.NET Documentation Tool is available for <a
href="http://www.winnershtriangle.com/w/Products.ASPNETDocumentationTool.Purchase.asp"
target="_blank">online purchase</a>. Purchasing the ASP.NET Documentation Tool allows you
