Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers
Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

  1. Sandcastle

    Sandcastle Help File Builder (SHFB). A standalone GUI, Visual Studio integration package, and MSBuild tasks providing full configuration and extensibility for building help files with the Sandcastle tools.

    Like already mentioned, use XML comments for everything possible. The class itself, enumerations, methods. In the Build or Compile properties (depends on the version of VS.NET) of your project, enable Generate XML documentation. I then personally use Sandcastle Help File Builder to create a help file from those.
