The MSDN style help files for the DNN framework: a wealth of information for every serious DNN (module) developer. I created a documentation set for DNN 5.1.2. I have used SandCastle Help File Builder to extract all code comments from the source version of the DNN core in order to create this documentation. So no documenting myself, only reusing what is already hidden in our treasure box, the DNN core. And if I compare this to previous version of my project (previous DNN versions): more and more is documented in the source. Great!
You will find the results of my work on http://www.codeplex.com/DNNHelpSystem. Free to be used for anyone interested.

What can you do with the files that I have created?
If you want to browse help:
- Extract the .zip with the .chm file to a local disk
- Double click the .chm file
- Now you can browse all help items MSDN style
If you build your module against an Install version of DNN and reference the DotNetNuke dll's in your project (which I recommend above using the DNN source version in your project):
- Unzip DNNHelpSystem_Intellisense.zip into the folder where you referenced the DotNetNuke core .dll's, so that the .xml and dll's go together
- Now you have intellisense in your project for the referenced DNN dll's
With more than 5.500 downloads (all files together) of previous versions of the help files: this work appears to be useful to a lot of people!
And while you are there at CodePlex: why not give this project a nice rating?

Re: MSDN Style help files for DNN 5.1.2
Very helpful when researching Deprecated functions. In the .CHM you can easily see the full message.

Re: MSDN Style help files for DNN 5.1.2
Fantastic!
As a relatively seasoned developer who is just beginning to acquaint themselves with DNN, this is absolutely invaluable.
Much obliged!
