Hi I am trying to create a nice help file for my program like in Microsofts notepad, you know like you can search for things like "spelling" and other things. I was wondering if visual studio has a form for this or if there is another way to do this.

Would appreciate the help! :-D

Solution 1

The helpfile in Notepad was created using this (or some version of it).

Not an easy thing, but not too difficult, either. Basically, you create web pages as your help, then compiling them all together.

Solution 2

I think you might be asking for Chm files. CHM are basically compiled html files. There is already a tool called SandCastle to do this.

Check this :

I hope this will help you.
