[SOLVED] Can I add the web-link into the XML-documentation?

Can I add the web-link into the XML-documentation?

Here I see the set of the allowed XML-tags for generation of the documentation (through SandCastle).

Wether exists the additional XML-tag for the link (to web-page) which would be opened through the browser when user press it? If I use <a href="...:/> then CHM-file attempts to open the link in its window and I get the script error message.

Solution

From the MSDN forum post "Embedding External URLs or Hyperlinks within XML Comments":

"To insert an external hyperlink, do just as you do in an html file. For example in your scenario, you can add the credit like this:"
/// <summary>
/// This is a test class.See <a href="http://…">Credits</a>.
/// </summary>
"And a help documentation tool such as SandCastle will process it properly."

So using <a> generally seems like the right way to go.

Unfortunately, you did not say exactly what kind of script error message you're getting.

The opened web page might simply contain errors itself. If that is the case, there is not much you can do except linking to a different web page.
The help viewer might open the web page inside its own browser, where script execution is restricted. In this case, you could try adding a target="_blank" attribute to the <a> element, so that the web page will be opened in a new window or tab.
