New Features
Visual Studio 2008 Integration
Full support for Visual Studio 2008 is included in this release, including the Visual Comment Editor for VB.NET and C# projects.
ASP.NET Ajax Javascript Documentation
Document! X is the first commercial documentation product to be able to produce comprehensive documentation for ASP.NET Ajax Javascript libraries. The output produced by
Document! X includes syntax and usage sections, object model diagrams and namespace hierarchies.
Document! X can document both from .js files and from resources embedded in a .NET assembly.
Full use is made of Javascript XML format source comments, both for descriptive content and for type information that improves the accuracy and usefulness of the generated
documentation.
Both 2005 and 2008 style templates are provided for ASP.NET Ajax Javascript documentation.
Community Features
Adding community features (ratings, private notes and public comments) to your documentation is now as simple as enabling an option on the the Community Features page in the
project editor. You can now easily build a community around your documentation and allow your help users to share tips and techniques.
The server side component of the community features is serviced by Innovasys Community Extensions - an ASP.NET web application. Innovasys Community Extensions is available via
a hosting subscription, or can be licensed for installation on your own web server. A license for a local installation of Innovasys Community Extensions is included with a team
license (5 or more licenses) of Document! X or HelpStudio.
A free to use evaluation Community Extensions server is run by Innovasys in order to make it simple for you to explore the Community functionality. There is also an
evaluation version of the Community Extensions web application available for download from the Innovasys web site if you wish to evaluate the self hosted option.
You can learn more about Innovasys Community Extensions on the Community Extensions Product
Page.
