VBCommenter for XML Comment Generation in VS .Net 2003

A personal entry for me.  Today I reached the end of my intended roadmap and released version 1.2 of the VBCommenter addin.  The VBCommenter is an addin for VS 2003 that gives you the ability to automatically generate XML comment headers in the VB .NET editor similar to what the C# editor automatically generates. It will also generate the XML comment file to go along with your VB assemblies at build time.  You won't need this tool in VS 2005, but for VS 2003 users...

• Patrick Coelho Gives VBCommenter customization tips.
• David Truxall: "It seems to be very usefull..." BTW - David, you can turn off the build generation of comments if you are concerned about the build performance.
• John Mueller on using the VBCommenter with NDoc. "At this point, it might be easy to say that VBCommenter is a perfect tool with everything you need to combine class or application comments with your documentation efforts. "
• Code Horror: "I've started to aggressively adopt the VBCommenter add-in, which adds XML comment support to the current version of VS.NET. "

When searching today I found a ton more articles and stories about the VBCommenter than I had ever seen.  I'm really excited to have played a role in releasing something a lot of people have found useful!

  Your Release Downloads link points to http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/default.aspx and it can't be downloaded.

  No, my link points correctly, but you get the redirect when the workspaces application is down. Try again later today.
