I just discover I can generate XML documentation for my project with VisualStudio 2010 with the '///' tags in the code.. It's seems magical but what can I do with that? Is some application exists who can make me a "beautiful doc" with the XML file? Or convert it into a HTML doc?

Thanks a lot for all responses!

There are several apps out there that can take your XML Comments and generate MSDN Style API docs for you (working on the list):

Sandcastle (Microsoft)
NDoc
Live Documenter

There's an alternative tool DocFX developed by Microsoft.

It generates API doc in HTML format like this.

I use GhostDoc to help generate the xml doc comments, and Sandcastle with Sandcastle Help File Builder to turn that into a compiled help file, which looks similar to the MSDN documentation.

You can find a detailed guide to using Sandcastle/Sandcastle Help File Builder here.

I also tried Doxygen and found it to be fairly easy to use, but preferred the look of the documentation that Sandcastle produced.

Another application: VSdocman
