I'm about to embark on building a compiled help (.chm) application for my
aspx web application. I wanted to know if anyone who has done this would
have any advice/tips to offer.
For example, I read that the compiled help file has to be downloaded to a
user's machine.. That seems kinda iffy to me depending on how big that file
gets. There shouldn't be more than 50 help pages, so I have no idea what
size it will end up as.
Any tips are appreciated. Thank You

so they have to actually say yes to installing the help file?
for some reason I thought it was seamless

HTML, but you get my drift)
You might want to consider zipping it and sending/downloading it that way,
so they can install it where ever they care too.

Yes, you shouldn't be able to force an install to a client machine. That
would be bad (virii and stuff).
The only other solution you have is to write a web interface for the help
files. That is what we are in the processing of looking into now.

George, For example, I read that the compiled help file has to be downloaded to a

size it will end up as.
This depends on the length of the help topics, the complexity of the
coding, the number of images, etc. For a help file resembling one of
Microsoft's, I'd expect a 50-topic help file to be in the region of
75-100 Kb.
The help compiler uses quite efficient compression methods, with the
result that your help file should be substantially smaller than the
combined size of the source files. However, you can usually increase
the compression rate by recompiling the help file with KeyTools, a
free program available from: http://www.keyworks.net/keytools.htm

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
