as2ndac - .NET C# version
August 24th, 2005
I’m in the process of rewriting the NaturalDocs AutoCommenting script in C# using the .NET framework.
This gives me a chance to learn more about writing Windows applications and getting to grips with .NET. It also gives me a chance to expand the design of the AutoCommentor, which, in it’s Perl form, is a bit of a hack rather than something well designed.
All the extended features of this version will probably make their way back to the perl script eventually, but the chances of a Perl/Tk version are pretty thin, it’s more likely the C# version will get wrapped in the GTK library, when I get around to it.
The new features are pretty much as per the original list…
- Block or Line comment styles
- Load/Save config files
- Process folders
- Process Multiple Files
- Recurse folders
- Default desription, version & author
- Custom Headings
- Selective Commenting
The AS2NDAC project now has a home on this page
can you Digg it?
is it del.icio.us?

Now that ASDoc has hit the download queue, and ostensibly we have a defacto standard for documenting ActionScript, it may well be worth looking at the problem of automatic documentation again…
I’ve come to believe that an editor plugin which smooths the process of generating and managing API comments which can also handle files in a batch would be a nice way to do things… an external GUI just doesn’t seem to be the way to go… So this will either become an Eclipse or FlashDevelop plugin project, I think it will probably be Eclipse, even though I’m not the worlds biggest Java fan I am quite an advocate for Eclipse.
Don’t expect anything very soon mind you, I’ll see how ASDoc pans out and if it has AS2.0 support I’ll start planning the feature set and implementation route.
