Hi,
You can use the Help class in VS2010

C#

Help.ShowHelp(this, @"Q:\help\Myhelp.chm", HelpNavigator.Topic, "BACNet");

OR

XML

<pre lang="c#">
Help.ShowHelp(this, @"Q:\help\Myhelp.chm", HelpNavigator.TopicId, "10001");
</pre>

You can add the above code in the Form_KeyUP Event

C#

private void Form1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
       {
           if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F1) 
           {
               Help.ShowHelp(this, @"Q:\help\Myhelp.chm", HelpNavigator.Topic, "BACNet");
           }
       }

So if, you press F1 key in the form , the help file will be open

Best Regards,
Muthuraja
