What's new in September 2006 Sandcastle CTP

  • Artikel

September 2006 Sandcastle CTP is now available at Microsoft download center. Here is a summary of what's new in this CTP version:

  1. Visual Studio 2005 look and feel transforms.
  2. State of Syntax tab persists across topics in HxS build.
  3. Transforms for hiding explicit interface implementations.
  4. Index and keyword generation in HxS build. To generate Index and keyword for HxS build please modify sandcastle.config. Under the transformation step in sandcastle.config, change
    <argument name=”metadata” value=”false” />
    to
    <argument name=”metadata” value=”true” />

Note: We are providing VS 2005 transforms under Presentation/VS2005 folder and the transforms shipped with the previous versions under Presentation/Prototype folder. For building VS2005 format please use sandcastle.config file from C:\Program Files\Sandcastle\Presentation\vs2005\Configuration folder as it uses shared content from C:\Program Files\Sandcastle\Presentation\vs2005\Content and transforms from C:\Program Files\Sandcastle\Presentation\vs2005\Transforms

Known issues:

  1. State of syntax tab do not persist across topics in CHM build. We will provide a hot fix for CHM after the release of September CTP.
  2. In C:\Program Files\Sandcastle\Presentation\vs2005 folder please modify the following:
    1. Edit CopyHavana.bat and change the path Prototype to vs2005.
    2. Edit test.hhp under C:\Program Files\Sandcastle\Presentation\vs2005\Chm folder and change the value icons to art.
    3. Edit test.hxf under C:\Program Files\Sandcastle\Presentation\vs2005\Hxs folder and changes icons to art.
  3. See Also section not generated for builds with VS 2005 look and feel. Please remove the xml comments for the following section in main_sandcastle.xsl for VS 2005 transforms under C:\Program Files\Sandcastle\Presentation\vs2005\Transforms:

<!-- see also -->
<!--<xsl:call-template name="seeAlsoSection" />-->

    Anand, How to generate the list of all members with the VS2005 presentation? Is it missing in this release or I am forgetting a build step? Thank you. Gael

    We are providing a refresh to our September CTP which will resolve the See also and other VS2005 transforms issue. Also AddRoot.xsl  transform step is not necessary and I will update the blog post accordingly. Anand.
