Compiled Help File (CHM) display in ASP

Sushil Prasad

I am having problem in displaying the compiled help file. In asp.net app I
have link button laballed help. On the users click of this button i do the
respose.redirec t to the url of the .chm file.
The error message on the web page i get is Action Cancelled. I do see the
left panel of help file that has the contents. The right panel is the one
that is not appearing.
Also this help file does display and work well when i browse it from the
windows directory but i get the same error as i get in asp.net application
when i browse it from the Internet Informaiton Service (IIS) manager.

Can someone help me on this. The help file was created by me.

Sushil, Back in August a Microsoft security patch, MS05-026 disabled
application access to .chm files. To correct this we put our .chm files on a
shared network folder and the apps point to the.chm in the new location.
Here's the url to the kb article:

Can't use "#" in a file or folder name

At least when you've got any docs in .CHM format in the folder tree. If you drop a file called CSharpDocs.chm into a folder: \toplevel\C#\docs, you can open it, but it won't display. The # anywhere in the folder hierarchy is enough to cause problems. I spent quite a while trying to figure this out. Tried it on several systems. Even discarded some CHM files, thinking they were corrupt. This is evidently a problem with Microsoft's own...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
