How to show chm file?

I have trouble displaying chm file. In my main form I did the
following

Help.ShowHelp(this, @"myhelp.chm", HelpNavigator.Topic);

I have the mydelp.chm in the release and debug folder still nothing
happens. I was expecting a new dialog will popup and show help index
but nothing happened. Does any one know how to fix this?

Also I tried ShowPopup and all it does is to show the string (the name
of the file) in the position I specified.

Thanks.

Hi

Download my notes on HTML Help from http://www.jososoft.dk/hh.pdf
The main part is in Danish (my tounge); but the last section is in English,
and this section describes how to hook a chm to an application.

Hi Jorgon,
Thanks and I did that still not working. This is what I did, I dropped
in the helpprovider and changed namespace to the .chm file I am
interested and did Help.ShowHelp still nothing happening no messages or
errors or warning.
I did debug and the showhelp lines executes.
Thanks.
