I have a VB.NET project that is version 8.0 in its line. It contains XML comments. Its predecessor, version 7.0, contains most of the same members, but with one crucial difference: it does not contain any XML comments. However, my manager would like a help file for version 7.0. I have also created two...

We do something like that when we build our help. We have two COM DLLs: One.DLL contains a bunch of objects (CFoo and CBar). The Other.DLL contains references to the interfaces (IFoo and IBar). We have a perl script that wrangles the One.DXC file into a new one OneForOther.DXC. It renames the documentation...

What I was describing was a method you could use to convert a content file created against one assembly such that it could be used for another assembly that had the same content but a renamed namespace or assembly name (e.g. if you products include a version number in the assembly / namespace name)....

Thanks. So you are saying I can use the lines (the content) in the Content Files, though I don't have to use the UI that Document! X provides -- I can just use another editor to grab the lines I need and store them centrally, and then create a particular DXC file as needed to generate help for a...

This functionality isn't available directly from Document! X, however it is possible to modify a Content File for use with a different assembly if the structure of your different assemblies is the same and only differs by Assembly / Namespace name. A single item of content in a Document! X Content...

Is there a way to use the contents of the Content File (DXC) across multiple assemblies? We have several products and several versions that each have separate assemblies but share most of the same information. We would like to be able to re-use the content in the DXC but see no way to store this centrally...
