It arises from the need of producing, in a similar automated way, the documentation for a SQL Server 2000 database, by extracting some properly formatted comments included in the tables, stored procedures, user-defined functions and triggers of the database, and by combining them with some SQL Server metadata in order to produce a collection of descriptive HTML files useful to build the CHM documentation of your database. Well, if your answer is "yes", and if you ever felt the lack of a similar feature in the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 suite, then you will easily understand the goal of DBdoc, the tool presented in this article. NET capability of extracting - at compile time - some formatted comments (you included in your source code) in the form of XML descriptive files, that you can later process with programs like NDoc in order to produce a CHM documentation of your assemblies and classes?
