How can I export XML code documentation in vb.net?

In vb.net I can write an XML documentation by using some tags, like the following

'''<summary>
''' Hello there!
'''</summary>

In Java, I simply can export my Javadoc documentation in a single click (it generates an Html file).

Is there a way to do something similar in vb.net?

There are several tools that can generate a documentation in HTML or other formats out of the XML comments. Some of them:

  • VSdocman - the tool for generating API documentation from C# and VB projects. It can generate multiple formats, including HTML, CHM, PDF, Docx and others. It also provides WYSIWYG XML comments editor in Visual Studio. It is a commercial product and I'm the author.
  • Sandcastle Help File Builder - a set of tools that are used to create help files for managed class libraries containing both conceptual and API reference topics. Free.
  • DocFX - An extensible and scalable static documentation generator. Free.
