Using Sandcastle Help File Builder with MSBuild

Question

How can I get Sandbule Help File Builder to create help files from projects created using MSBuild?

Answer 1

I have an MSBuild object that creates my documentation in my build script.

This target uses the Sandcastle file builder.

This is done as follows:

<Target name="builddoc" DependsOnTargets="buildall">

   <ItemGroup>
      <Assemblies Include="-assembly=$(outputdir)\myassembly.dll" />
      <Assemblies Include="-assembly=$(outputdir)\anotherassembly.dll" />
   </ItemGroup>

   <Exec Command="$(double_quote)$(SandcastleHFBCmd)$(double_quote) sandcastleproj.shfb$(double_quote) @(assemblies, ' ') outputpath=$(outdir)
</Target>

Answer 2

Take a look at the docproject that we use to create help files from our TFS build scripts.
