Built In Help Pages

[RBChallenger]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to embed help pages into an application? Im
looking for the standard windows help system that you typically see...
little purple books as the index pages in the other pane, ability to
open the correct page on demand etc. Thanks ahead of time!!!

See the HelpProvider class.

You can still build the compiled help files (CHM) with the help workshop but
HelpProvider gives you an easy to use interface for the resulting file.

You will also be able to use NDoc for creating the help files if you're
doing files for code etc.

I've never tried to use NDoc for a simple help file by creating raw XML help
files.... It might be possible.

Bare with my ignorance here for a second, and thanks for the help btw. I
understood the HelpProvider class to be more of an object driven help
class, ie. click the little question mark then click an object and get
a little help note on the object in question. Can this class also be
utilized to bring up a hull on help system. If you have any sample
links floating around Id be forever greatful. :)
