HTML Help and VB.Net

[Jason L James]

I know that this might not be the correct
group to post this but the HTMLHelp group
doesn't appear to have any messages in it.

I am trying to incorporate HTML help into
my VB app. but I am having some difficulty.
I can load the .chm file that I have compiled
but I don't know how to have it open the
correct page. How do I tell VB which page
to open and how to I get the html help page
to know that it should be opened? Does the
html page need a name or reference of some
kind that needs to be entered into the HelpKeyword
once I have added a help provider to my
VB app? How do I set this name in the
HTMLHtlp file?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Jason
