AFAIK the only way to display help is from a physical file, not from an embedded resource. So you can do it by including the file in your project resources, making sure that it is not marked as "Embedded", and setting CopyToOutputDirectory to "Copy if newer".

Then use the Application.StartupPath Property (System.Windows.Forms) | Microsoft Docs[^] to locate the file itself.
