HelpProvider bug? Close the .CHM window and application closes too!

[Nate]

Has anybody else seen this?

I have a Windows Forms application that simply uses the HelpProvider control
to open a .CHM. I use the helpprovider.show method and it works fine.
However, when the Help window (*.chm) opens, if I quit (i.e. close) the Help
window, then it closes as expected, and so does my application! ??

This isn't supposed to happen is it? how do I overcome this so that when I
close the Help window, my application stays open and running?

I am using VB.NET, with Visual Studio 2003 with all the latest .NET
Framework revisions etc.

Thank you.

Ha! typical huh... find your own solution in the end...

I was calling help.showhelp and passing in a string for the .CHM file. Doing
this will open the help file in a window, but Exiting from that window will
also exit the application.

using the Help provider namespace and passing that into the
help.showhelp(helpprovider1.helpnamespace) seemed to overcome this.

I hope this will be of help to anyone else who comes across this
