Announcing Sandcastle Version 2.4.10115
I am excited to announce the availability of Sandcastle Version 2.4.10115. The latest version is now available for download at https://www.codeplex.com/Sandcastle. My sincere thanks to the Sandcastle user community for providing us with valuable feedback.
What's new in this version:

2. Example GUI: A sample GUI under \Example\generic folder
3. Additional transform and syntax generator for documenting Script# (https://projects.nikhilk.net/Projects/ScriptSharp.aspx). I will post a seperate blog about this project.

Getting Started:
1. Using the command line option for the batch file under Examples/Sandcastle folder to build VS2005 or hana or prototype style CHM or HxS file
1. Build_sandcatle.bat vs2005 test
2. Build_sandcatle.bat prototype test
3. Build_sandcatle.bat hana test
If you need to generate hxs, please uncomment the following line in build_sandcastle.bat. Make sure "Microsoft Help 2.0 SDK" is installed on your machine.
::hxcomp.exe -p output\test.hxc
2. Using msbuild to generate build for VS2005 or hana or prototype, CHM or HxS file
1. Msbuild build.proj /property:PresentationStyle=vs2005
2. Msbuild build.proj /property:PresentationStyle=hana
3. Msbuild build.proj /property:PresentationStyle=prototype
To build hxs, add /target:Hxs, eg: Msbuild build.proj /property:PresentationStyle=vs2005 /target:Hxs
3. Using GUI to generate build for VS2005 or hana or prototype, CHM or HxS file
A sample GUI is provided under \Example\generic folder. I will provide a separate blog about generating a build using the sample GUI.
