Sandcastle 2.4.10520

Sandcastle is a software tool developed by Microsoft® that facilitates the creation of documentation for software projects. With Sandcastle, developers can generate documentation in a variety of formats, including HTML, Microsoft Help files, and XML.

The tool is particularly useful for developers building libraries or frameworks intended for use by other developers. Sandcastle can extract documentation from the source code of an application in a process known as "reflection," allowing developers to quickly and easily generate documentation that accurately reflects the codebase.

Using Sandcastle, developers can include important information such as class diagrams, code samples, and usage instructions. The tool also allows users to customize the look and feel of their documentation, including choosing color schemes and adding logos and other branding elements.

• Sandcastle works with a range of programming languages and can document C#, Visual Basic, and TypeScript projects out of the box.
• The tool is open-source and available for free to all users.
• Sandcastle requires Windows and the .NET Framework 2.0 or later.

Sandcastle is a powerful tool for developers looking to create high-quality documentation for their software projects. Its reflection-based approach streamlines the process of generating accurate and detailed documentation, making it an essential component of any developer's toolkit.
