Hi

In my workflow I am editing XML comments in the code of a VB.NET project using the Document! X plug-in, and adding and maintaining examples in a separate content file (this is meant to prevent the code from bloating).

I am wondering what I can/should do when new components are added to the source code. For example, if a developer adds a new method, this method will not be added to the existing content file ... will it? Therefore, do I have to add a new content file whenever the VB.NET projects gains or loses members? Is there a way to avoid this by merging content files?

Thanks for your suggestions!

Content Files will always show the most up to date content of the item you are documenting - no structural information is stored, only the content you create. Let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks. In that case, what happens if an item for which I have created content in the content file -- for example a method -- is removed from the project? Is the content still in the content file, but not published in the generated help? Or is the content lost?

If you remove (or rename) any member for which you have content defined, then the next time you open the Content File Document! X will prompt you to re-assign or discard the content (on an 'Orphaned Content' dialog).
