RoboHelp with VB.Net

[Guest]

I am trying to integrate a RoboHelp Windows Help file into my VB.Net Windows
application using the Help Provider (VS2005).

Does anyone have any experience with this that can help? No matter what
options I set on the help provider, all I get is the main help file......I
can't get it to open to a specific topic.

TIA

Can you post what you tried?

Jan,

I have actually gotten this to work since posting this, but by using some
API calls from a sample from RoboHelp. It appears to me that that stuff is
dated; like VS2002. I was hoping that I could simply use the Help Provider
in VS2005, but what I am doing does not use that at all.

I had some limited success using the Help Provider referencing HTML help (a
CHM file), but this is a Windows App and the resulting help file is a WinHelp
hlp file, which the help provider doesn't even seem to recognize as being a
help file.
