Sam points us to an MSDN article about the C# XML comment system. It gives a great overview of what XML comments are available. Read it! :)

I just wanted to point to the tool that I use -- and love -- that turns those XML comments into MSDN-style HTML: NDoc. All my C# code gets XML comments, and it all gets run through NDoc to produce either public-consumption documentation (public and protected methods), and/or personal-consumption documentation (everything). It's integrated very well into NAnt, which I use for all my .NET builds.

Thanks Brad! Yes, I should have mentioned NDoc. Well worth checking out.

I was interested by this article at O'Reilly - Previewing Windows .NET Servers, in particular the enhanced process model in IIS 6.0. I've advocated for a long time that complex server applications should be partitioned into separate processes, wherever feasible, to isolate different components of the server into their own address space.  ...In IIS 6.0 inetinfo.exe is now a separate process with no apps running in its address space. This process controls multiple worker processes, each process running one or more apps. ... .NET App Domains are a method of partitioning .NET applications. An App Domain is the .NET equivalent of an OS process. [Cook Computing]

Cook gives an excellent description of the changes in IIS 6.0 and .NET App Domains.
