I want to learn how to use MSBuild ReadLinesFromFile Task
I observe Output tag in MSDN example.
In my project I also have Output/#PropertyName attribute.
I don't have an idea which other attributes Output tag can accept.
Where can I find description of them?
I suppose I should see some inherited tasks or something like this.
Where it is? (I followed the links in the MSDN page, but it seems I missed something)
I don't know MSBuild in depth and I don't think I need it for my purposes, just want to find clear description of ReadLinesFromFile Task.

Maybe only stating the obvious, the task only accepts (well by documentation anyway) the Lines output parameter, as documented, and shown in an example, on the page you have linked in your question.
The "most clear" description you will find about the task is indeed the MSDN page.
BTW, looking inside Microsoft.Build.Tasks.v4.0.dll, the ReadLinesFromFile task indeed only accepts the Lines output parameter.

I'm currently using a software with its own command-line interface, accepting its own commands with parameters, but these commands are documented in several places and files, so I can't simply run doxygen on it, and its not possible to add documentation to these files now.
Dumping everything in one text document seems a bit annoying to use, so my first idea is to generate a table, SQL for example, and add the documentation there, with several columns, such as command and its description, arguments and description of them, example command, execution time, etc., and add some kind of GUI to easily display the commands.
Are there already solutions for this, especially easy to maintenance ones?
Or is it better to have a different approach for this, such as html based Helpfiles?
you could build one yourself or use some third party tools like REDGATE SQLdoc..
below is one example of how documentation is generated for one sample table as HTML,PDF as well

I am studying myself some Script Object with looking at reference from MSDN or googling. As skipped the whole properties, methods which object has, I can roughly imagine that how the object was constructed. But, If i can look at entire source code of each object such as FileSystemObject, I gonna much more understand the structure it has.
Is there someone who know how to get the entire source code of each Script's object?
You're a few decades off. Check out JavaScript or PowerShell. Even the latest version of Office supports scripting in JavaScript.
To directly answer your question, you can't. Microsoft only very very recently started making things open source.

I spent the past few hours searching for a tutorial/documentation for QuickForm2 but seems like there is no such thing other than the examples attached with the package itself which are not sufficient at all. I tried looking through the API documentation but I can't find a method called addElement for example which is the most used method there. I just need any good tutorial about the second version of the package or would you please tell me where can i find the methods (addElement, addRule, element specific methods like setValue, setOptions, setContent ... etc).
There is a bunch of examples here (on Ubuntu):
/usr/share/doc/php5-common/PEAR/HTML_QuickForm2/examples/
If you are on another distro you can do:
locate QuickForm2
I'm not too familiar with QuickForm, but a google search found this page:
http://pear.php.net/reference/HTML_QuickForm2-latest/li_HTML_QuickForm2.html
I think you're possibly struggling because the methods you're looking for are in the base classes.
For example:
Element mentions that it Includes Node.php.
Node has an addRule method (and a setValue one).
addElement looks like its in the Container class
The documentation for HTML_QuickForm2 is in the PEAR manual: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.html.html-quickform2.php
addElement is in HTML/QuickForm2/Container.php.

I would like to create some documentation and post it onto my Joomla website. This documentation would be something along the lines of the MSDN documentation: i.e. each page would follow a basic template.
Intuitively I feel I have two ways of achieving this:
1) Creating each page of documentation as a separate article, and then linking them up.
2) Creating some kind of template and filling the information from a database.
The second option being preferable in the long run. Unforunately I have no idea how to achieve what I'm looking for. I hoped that there would be a component out there that woud help me, but Googling for 'Joomla Documentation' just brings up the documentation for Joomla itself.
Has anyone out there put documentation on their site, and how did they achieve it?
You're probably best off using one of the content construction kits (CCKs) available for Joomla: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-production/content-construction These allow you to define preset fields for each article.

I'm starting a new project; trying to be more strict than previous ones. I've set warnings as errors in the build I've added FxCop to PostBuild. The one last thing on my list os require people to add inline docs for all classes/non-private methods/properties.
Is there a custom FxCop rule or another exe I can run in the post build to check? I've having a hard time finding something, which is surprising.
Bingo: http://www.ookii.org/software/xmlcommentchecker/
The VB.NET compiler doesn't help much in this regard as I've only ever seen it issue a warning for something like <param name="foo">...</param> when you don't have a parameter called "foo" in the function, but nothing at all for missing tags which is annoying.
The method I use on my projects is to use the build log from Sandcastle and grep it for the warnings it spits out since they're faily easy to match (they all begin with something like "Warn: ShowMissingComponent:" and it will issue a warnings for all sorts of missing tags in your code.
