Title: Offline help AutoCAD developer
Post by: jtoverka on October 13, 2021, 08:04:16 AM

Has anyone found an installer for offline help for .NET developers? My plan is to make an xml comment file to enable intellisense in VS.

I found the XML comment file to enable intellisense in Visual Studio.
I downloaded the Nuget packages here:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/AutoCAD.NET.Model/ (https://www.nuget.org/packages/AutoCAD.NET.Model/)
https://www.nuget.org/packages/AutoCAD.NET.Core/ (https://www.nuget.org/packages/AutoCAD.NET.Core/)

I used 7zip to open the archives and get the xml and the respective dll files to use as reference in a Visual Studio project. I then used Sandcastle to build a help file.

Now I have both the offline help file and Visual Studio Intellisense.

If you download the ObjectArx libraries from ADN then you can reference to the included dll files instead of the application dll files. This library contains the documentation xml files as well.

I have been living without intellisense for too long!
