Hi Jason,

> It includes several clipboard and outlining helpers, but the primary util
is a DocXml/Doxygen comment auto-generator for C/C++/C#/Java. This scans the
code element (method, class, struct, enum, etc) under the cursor and
generates a document comment, automaticallly deriving useful comment text
from the names and types used. If a comment already exists, it will update
it to reflect any changes to the code element (new parameters, etc). If
base-class or override documentation is available, it will be used to help
populate the doc comment. The format and auto-commenting rules used are all
easily configurable via a simple XML file.

Thanks for taking the time to post this. I'm sure there are plenty of people
listening (would "lurking" be a better description...?) and I'm sure some
will find it useful. :)

FWIW the only reason I've not posted on here in ages is that the VS
interfacing code I work with is largely now stable (though no doubt VS2010
will try to change that!) and my focus has largely been elseware (user
interface, installer, product support etc.).

That said, my partner Beth is doing some interesting experimentation with
Visual Studio text markers in a C++ add-in at the moment, so hopefully there
will be a "proof of concept" add-in and associated article in due course to
chat about.



Cheers,
