I have a smart client application written in C#. Since the app will be
downloaded from the web onto the client's PC, I was wondering what the best
help file format would be. Should I stick with a .chm file? Is there a
newer recommended format from Microsoft that I should use instead? Would
the entire .chm file need to be downloaded locally?

TIA,

Mike Rodriguez

I would suggest you to take a look at NDoc. This is the best help file I
could ever get from my C# application.

I would use HTML Help (.chm) since the MS Help 2 format used in VS.NET
2002/2003 has some problems and difficulties and it seems that Longhorn will
use a new format anyway...
