Any tools out there that can help with writing documentation?

[cjard]

Wondering if there are any tools that can:

Read source code
Identify methods
Identify parameters
Assess which exceptions are thrown

(yep.. the compiler probably can)

and then use this info to generate a comment stub for my apps so that I can just fill in the stub and have it edit my source to add the comment

Check out NDoc http://ndoc.sourceforge.net/

Look into SandCastle, a MS project that surfaced around when NDoc called the quits around .Net 1.1.
download, wiki (note the Community Tools section)
.Net Framework documentation was built with this at least from .Net 2.0 and up.
You may already be aware of SandCastle, it is also based on existing standard code comment blocks, but perhaps some of the addins also can auto-insert commenting? It is not difficult to insert these manually, just press three ''' and it is generated.
