VBDoc

Description:
VBDoc helps you document Visual Basic projects. Specify the existing vbp file and it will study the code, identifying all the Forms, Modules, Class Modules in the project and all the functions, procedures, properties and events defined in them. VBDoc can create a set of well-linked HTML files that contains the complete documentation of your project and/or can insert comments in the source code.

Version 2.0 extends the features of the previous one. The following are the new features of version 2.0:

1. A better GUI with a wizard-like interface to guide you through the utility.
2. The HTML files generated are better linked, providing for a better navigation. Each file contains a summary of all the functions/procedures defined within.
3. Version 2.0 has the ability to insert comment headers in the code. This header is completely customizable and will help a lot in code study.

VBDoc is inspired from JavaDoc (the documentation utility that comes bundled with JDK). Needless to say then that VBDoc can create a set of well-linked HTML files that contains the complete documentation of your project. VBDoc is different from JavaDoc in several ways:

1. JavaDoc requires you to follow certain commenting standards. VBDoc does not pose any such limitation. So, you can run VBDoc even on older existing projects.
2. VBDoc (unlike JavaDoc) can help you trace the logical flow of your project. Within every function/procedure it identifies, VBDoc tries to find out all the user-defined functions called. It then provides a hyperlink in the documentation to the definition of those functions. This will be very useful in studying existing code.
3. VBDoc can insert comment headers in the code - something that makes it very easy for a third person to read and understand your code.
