Sandcastle Source Code published in Codeplex

I am very pleased to announce the availability of the Sandcastle project with source code at https://www.codeplex.com/Sandcastle. The source code can be downloaded from the Releases tab at https://www.codeplex.com/Sandcastle/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=13873 and also from the Source code tab at https://www.codeplex.com/Sandcastle/SourceControl/ListDownloadableCommits.aspx.

Last month I blogged about the removal of Sandcastle project from Codeplex at https://blogs.msdn.com/sandcastle/archive/2008/06/06/sandcastle-project-removed-from-codeplex.aspx. and asked for your feedback. It is very clear from the emails I recieved from all of you and from various blogs that publishing the source code is the right thing to do for the Sandcastle customers. I thank you for this thread https://www.codeplex.com/Sandcastle/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=29085 and for all the great community efforts and support around Sandcastle and it's adoption rates. 

I also would like to thank Sam Ramji, Scott Stein and Sara Ford from Microsoft for being strong advocates of the open source community.
 

Thank you again for all for your patience. Please feel free to contact me (aram@microsoft.com) directly regarding any questions. Cheers.

Anand..

  Hi Anand, I have 2 questions:

1. I understand that you use an earlier version of CCI Metadata to read IL metadata. Since Sandcastle does not need to look into the method body and only needs to read method signatures and the API or just the metadata of any assembly, why did you go to the trouble of using CCI metadata and why did you not simply use System.Reflection? I am guessing it is because of performance. System.Reflection is much slower than CCI metadata.
2. I am going to download and read the source but this will save me time. Do you at any time use the CodeDOM? Although I can't foresee any reason you would use it, since all you need to do is read code metadata and not construct code, but still, one can never be sure. I am interested because I am doing some research on CodeDOM and would like to learn about real world projects that are using it. If you do use CodeDOM, then in which particular scenario are you using it?
