I know how to generate html documentation using Sandcastle and similar tools. But if I want to host the project on Google code, how can I easily publish the documentation straight into the Google project Wiki pages?
I can see the SVN repository has a wiki folder which I assume maps to the project Wiki pages and I guess I can make a build step to build the documentation from the autodoc tags. But is there some tool that generates wiki compatible format from the code documentation tags?
First, you're right about the SVN repository...
You're correct in assuming that the 'wiki' folder is there to contain any/all wiki documents that are viewable on Google Code. If you want to see for yourself, create a wiki page on the site and browse the source to see what I mean.
Second, it doesn't look like there's an 'official solution' to generating .wiki files from the autodoc tags but that doesn't mean you're the only one trying
Here's an approach where the Sandcastle files are used to populate a wiki.
Here's an approach to extract the comments themselves from the source.

In Visual Studio 2015 (after installing the SDK preview), I created a 'diagnostic with code fix' project. The skeleton code is full of interesting types such as DiagnosticAnalyzer (under Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Diagnostics) and CodeFixProvider (under Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CodeFixes).
Where can I read the docs for these types? I couldn't find them on msdn. All I found was a different namespace with a confusingly similar name System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis .
Ideally msdn would have a full guide to writing a DiagnosticAnalyzer, as well as the usual reference documentation.
These are all Roslyn related, so the best place to look is the Roslyn documentation
It has samples, walkthroughs, FAQ, etc. Specifically here's a PDF file showing How To: Write a C# Diagnostic and Code Fix using a DiagnosticAnalyzer.
MSDN doesn't usually have information on technologies still in preview. I can only guess that until VS 2015 ships all the MSDN articles would be published (but we'll have to wait and see).
Roslyn is now moved to https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn
I think still the documentation is not that very great...!
my personal openion
This is an older question, but the docs have moved
Roslyn Wiki
A useful example: build a c# analyzer

In a C# application, I must generate a pdf document from a specific template wich includes fields and images.
So I've thought of creating a ".tex" which would be my template, then modify it from the application and finally use a API to get a PDF file from the ".tex" file
But I also heard of some API to generate a PDF file directly without using latex. However, I think that it will not be easy to reproduce the template with the API.
What is the easiest way and the best API ?
I would recommend creating a HTML template and then converting it to PDF via https://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ .
You can utilize Razor templating engine and get good Visual Studio support for creating you templates.
Its also easier to debug and fine-tune the result in a browser.
You can also find people to write HTML templates more easily.

I'm now working on a .net/c# project requires to generate a contract pdf file (for printing and browsing purpose) based on some info traced from database.
The file also concludes several pages content which is fixed. It seems that crystal report does not deal well with multiple pages files. I also did research online, someone said use iTextSharp.
The question is the format of the file can be complicated. iTextSharp is kinda of not efficient on this issue.
Anyone has an idea?
PDF Sharp is an excellent library for this. They also have Migra-Doc which allows you to write documents to pdf, xps and rtf. The API is robust and based on GDI, pages shouldn't be a problem, you can even draw tables and stuff.
Quick Samples are here but download the project source, they have a hoard of good samples.
Please take a look at Windward Reports (I'm the CTO at Windward). With Windward you design in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint so anything, no matter how complex, that you can layout in Office, we can then render with data in PDF.

I've created a software that I want to be able to market. I'd like to be able to post it on forums etc and for that I need a home page.
Is there any open source C# project home pages that you can use?
The functionality I'm looking for is like adding new versions (perhaps a version control from the software), downloading and user guides. So what I want is pretty basic: I want to be able to upload and let the users download.
I've written this on my own as well but I guess that if there are open source projects that have done this they're probably better.
This can't be such a rare problem so please lead me to some resources so that I can create my page and publish my software! :)
Google Code, Launchpad, SourceForge, Savannah, and CodePlex (among others) provide this service.

I'm using MSBUILD macros in my .csproj files for AfterBuild events mainly just to copy files. I'm doing this by example, so the only ones I know of are the ones I've seen in use: SolutionDir, ProjectDir, OutputPath, and Configuration. Is there a list or good info page online anywhere so I can read up on what's available, what point in the build they're available, customization, etc? I know that when using post build events in the project properties Build Events tab, the macros and their corresponding values are listed in a dialog...does any such gui exist for MSBUILD? Currently I'm just manually editing the .csproj files.
These are called Properties, not macros. See:
Reserved Properties
Common project properties
There's the MSDN MSBuild Reference.
The landing page has an overview of the different areas, though I must admit I can't find anything on the AfterBuild events at the moment. Even the Targets page itself is a little short of information in this area.
Here is what you were looking for.
