.Net Framework documentation location

im working on a documentation project and i need to parse the .net framework documentation. I want to use NDoc for that. I have successfully installed the .net framework and the msdn library. The problem is that i am not able to find the dll's and there corresponding xml files. I'm even not sure if they exists or if the documentation browser uses compiled helpfiles.

To make it short: What is the location of the .net framework dll's and there corresponding .xml开发者_开发技巧 documentation files (if those exists).

Thanks

On my system they can be found at (.dll and .xml)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\

and (.dll only)

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319

On my machine, they live here:

c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<FrameworkVersion>\en\

They might also be alongside the DLLs in

c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<FrameworkVersion>

UPDATE:
It appears as if one part of the files lies in the folders I specified above and another part - specifically WPF - lies in the folder specified by Dennis. See this question in the Microsoft forum for some official confirmation.

Framework DLLs, at least for the most part, are in the Global Assembly Cache. This is primarily a percompile for performance step. You will find copies under %WINDIR%/Microsoft .NET/{framework version}.

The default location for local help is C:\Program Data\Microsoft\HelpLibrary\

XML is not stored on disk and dll's could be found under system GAC. Why do you need to document entire .net framework library?
