NDoc uses two sources to generate documentation. The first is an assembly file produced by compiling the source code. The other is a pre-generated XML documentation file, usually produced by parsing the source code for special comments (C# compilers from .NET Framework and Mono support this using the "/doc" command-line argument).
VSdocman is an extension for Visual Studio 2022, 2019 and 2017. It consists of two main parts - documentation compiler and comment editor. The compiler produces the final class documentation in various formats. The comment editor provides tools for semi-automatic inserting or editing the XML comments that are used by the compiler. [1]

Natural Docs is a multi-language documentation generator. It is written in C# and available as free software under the terms of the AGPL. It attempts to keep the comments written in source code just as readable as the generated documentation. It is written and maintained by Greg Valure.
Sandcastle is a documentation generator from Microsoft.It automatically produces MSDN-style code documentation out of reflection information of .NET assemblies and XML documentation comments found in the source code of these assemblies.
A documentation generator is a programming tool that generates software documentation intended for programmers (API documentation) or end users (end-user guide), or both, from a set of source code files, and in some cases, binary files. Some generators, such as Javadoc, can use special comments to drive the generation.

When used as a documentation generator, Doxygen extracts information from specially-formatted comments within the code. When used for analysis, Doxygen uses its parse tree to generate diagrams and charts of the code structure. Doxygen can cross reference documentation and code, so that the reader of a document can easily refer to the actual code.
