Beeing a cross-language developer, I am looking for something similar to JavaDoc for auto-generation of documentation for code based on comments.
Since VB doesen't have the /* */ comment signs, I have written most of my code comments within ''/ '/ blocks. What I am looking for is a parser that can create HTML-documentation of my code based on these. An example:

''/
' Check wether a user is logged onto
' a specified machine on the network.
'
' @return true if the user is logged in, or false if not (and on error)
'/
Public Function IsUserOnMachine(ByVal pstrUserName As String) As Boolean
.
.
End Function

If I don't find anything, I will have to make such a parser, which is easy enough, but I'd rather spare the time.
Please respond if you know of any such parser.

a quick search on http://wwww.download.com for HTML and VB found a couple of entries.
e.g. VBDoc 1.0
http://www.download.com/pc/software/0,332,0-55624-s,1000.html?st.dl.search.results.tdtl
or Document VB 1.2

I haven't tried any of these, though.
