helpfile

I am try to use Sandcastle Help File Builder, but can't quite get it to work. Here is what I have done:

1) installed the program; works like normal

2) enabled xml in the project I want documentation for that gets generated in the /bin

3) created a new sandcastle help file project

4) added the C# project as (its a WCF service in case that matters) a documentation service

5) ran the "build" to generate the help file

6) went to "documentation"/"view help file"/"view help file" in the GUI

7) The file opens and contains the appopriate "folders", but every page says "Navigation to the webpage was canceled"

I have seen the xml file in the /bin and it contains all of my /// comments, so why are they not showing up in the help file? Any ideas?

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

as seen on West-Wind - Search for 'West-Wind'
The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
