Help writer?

I was wondering what the top few choices were for writing help for a VB.NET
Windows app... i.e. context sensitive.

Thanks,
Ron

If your needs are basic, I always found RoboHelp to be adequate. It is now
owned by Adobe.

and for a free (for personal use) program that does quite a satisfactory
job, you might want to look at HelpNDoc from IBE software at
http://www.ibe-software.com/products/software/helpndoc/
I use it with my FontOrg program and it works nicely.

Check out Microsoft HTML Help Workshop which comes with VS and can be
downloaded from the Microsoft website. You can use the HelpProvider
component to integrate help into your application.
