The lack of support for exceptions is a huge negative. This tool doesn't even have the most basic support for documenting exceptions that are explicitly thrown from a method.

GhostDoc v4 Alpha released to the Insiders group already includes support for exceptions and much more. A public Beta is coming March 23rd.

Good old Ghost Doc has been my friend for long time.

The best every commenting tool for Visual Studio. It is very stable (I don't remember any crashes at all for the entire software developing with it).

The old version worked great but the new version has messed up xml tags.

by Jason Williams | November 11 2010

Good, but falls short of its true potential.

Why do I say this? I used my own doc-comment generation code for over 10 years. When I discovered GhostDoc in 2009 I thought it would be a 5/5 and relieve me of the development burden of my own system. But it doesn't support C++ code and its suggestions are only naive rearrangements of member/parameter naming, so I knew it wasn't nearly as good as it could be - hence I gave it a 2/5 rating in 2009.

I then realised that my own addin was much more capable and advanced, so I continued developing it and when it was good enough, I published it (it's also listed in the VS Gallery). Thus, although GD is good, I can't offer it a higher score in light of the alternative.

I love this extension!

Don't be fooled. The power of GhostDoc is not in the ability to "generate" meaningful comments but rather the ability to suck in existing documentation from overridden methods, interface implementations, etc. That's why this is in my top 2 favorite addins.

I love GhostDoc, been using it for years!

One of the best free addins around. This is always one of the first that I install.

One of the few tools I *immediately* install on every dev machine/VM I have.

by Karol Żynda | May 07 2009

Very good tool

The best add-in I have used.

by Rich Fantozzi | April 01 2009

Excellent tool for documentation of classes. The ability to customize the documentation makes it easy to ensure standards and leaves little excuse for basic documentation of code.

    VS 2010 SP1 and GhostDoc
    3 Posts | Last Post January 24, 2012
    • Written March 24, 2011 
      Has anybody tried VS 2010 SP1 with GhostDoc and does it work fine? I have heard some issues from some users and curious to know if it works fine?
    • Written April 08, 2011 
      I've had VS 2010 SP1 intermittently hang when I press Ctrl-Shift-D. The problems started as soon as I installed SP1.
    • Written January 24, 2012 
      The latest version (v3.x) works fine with VS2010 SP1. But make sure you download the latest from SubMain site.

    VB.NET on site only?

    • Written January 17, 2011 
      Why does the version here only specify C# while the one on the SubMain/GhostDoc site available for VB.NET as well?  

Is there a difference between the two installs, or does the description just not state it works for VB.NET here?
    • Written January 24, 2012 
      Christina,

GhostDoc on SubMain web site is the same as the one listed here (only newer version) and it does support VB.NET. 

The Gallery page is still owned by Roland (the original GhostDoc author) and we can't update it when we have new version.

      Is there a reverse version of this that removes pointless, space wasting comments like the ones GhostDoc creates?

      It's called your delete key you troll.
