Problem with VB.Net and Help Workshop 1.4

I can launch the help viewer with no problem, but I want it to start on a
particular page and not the default page. According the the 1.4 docs you can
download, this should do the trick

help.showhelp(M e, "C:\directoryna me\helpfilename .chm::/targetpage.htm" )

starting the help viewer on targetpage.htm in the chm. But this gives me a

NotSupportedExc eption: the given path's format is not supported.

which sounds like VB.net doesn't like the extended path syntax. The command

help.showhelp(M e, "C:\directoryna me\helpfilename .chm")

works just fine, but launches the default page (as it is supposed to).

Does anyone know how to make VB accept the extended path syntax Help
Workshop wants?

Thanks

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