Step 3: Generating Code

Once the RapTier project has been created and customized, you are ready to generate the documentation for your database.

To generate the documentation choose the Generate Code menu item from the Project menu.

RapTier generates HTML and the related Visual Studio.NET project and solution files. Then it opens the Generation Result form that shows the results of the code generation.

After the successful generation go to the output directory and click on Default.htm to see the generated documentation.

The generated VS.NET files allow you to compile and integrate the generated documentation with the Help content in Visual Studio.NET. To implement this integration you will need the Visual Studio .NET Help Integration Kit (VSHIK). More information about the VSHIK and integration instructions can be found at the Microsoft website.

Note: Each version of VSHIK targets a specific version of Visual Studio .NET; make sure to install the version of VSHIK that corresponds to your version of Visual Studio .NET.
