Hi,
I am trying to create a help file for the Windows Ce 5.0.
And I was able to display text also. But the problem is when I try to display the Image in the html file ,no image is getting displayed in the emulator.

MIDL

String path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase);
            Help.ShowHelp(this, path + @"\HTMLPage1.htm");

And the image is in the same folder as that of the exe as well as the html file.

<img src="tim.2bp" alt="Image Display"/>

And When I open the html page in the Windows Ce Emulator I am able to see the Image. But when the exe is calling the html page the image is not getting displayed.

I refered the msdn link for this..http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229662.aspx[^]

Please help me to solve the issue...

I modified your code thusly, the Path.Combine saves issues with having to add "\\" to everything.

C#

String path = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase);
string file = Path.Combine(path, @"HTMLPage1.htm");
if(File.Exists(file))
{
    Help.ShowHelp(this, file);
}

Besides that, the example I saw requires that you install the file into the help directory. I got it to stop complaining by adding the image to the project and setting the "copy always" flag on the file.
