Does the current version of DocumentX! work with VS2008 and also enable help integration into VS2008's help system? Or will there be a new version soon able to do this?

Thks,

John

 

The current version of Document! X (5.2.1.3) supports the documentation of assemblies created with the Beta 2 or release version of Visual Studio 2008, and also integration (Visual Comment Editor) with the Beta 2 version of VS 2008. Support for the Visual Comment Editor in the VS 2008 release version will be released in an update soon.

Richard,

Thanks for the swift reply. Can you contact me via PM with a quote to update our current version 4?

Thanks very much,

John
 

I'm glad you have a forum.  I had the same question (about VS2008 support). Will you be using a new template? Is Microsoft offering any changes to the help look-and-feel for VS2008?
For now, we're thinking that we can deliver the same docs with both the VS2005 and VS2008 versions of our product and I'm wondering if that's a workable plan.

We will shortly be releasing into beta Document! X 2008. This version of Document! X will include both Visual Studio 2008 integration and a new template based on the 2008 documentation style.

You can indeed create a single help system for integration with both Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008, either using the existing 2005 style templates or the new 2008 style template.

Is there a mailing list that we can be put on to get notifed of the pending Beta release of Document! X?
