Well, darn, Eric ... it's not gonna work. I can't use compiled HTML (.chm) as your first article talks about using. And your second article (like a wiki, where the user can contribute to the content), is not going to fly in our company (we have a documentation team who will be writing all this stuff).

Looks like it's back to the drawing board! =0(

>>Hi gang,
>>
>>I am sooooo tired of Googling for an answer to this. I'm not finding anything I particularly like, so I'm either not looking in the right places, or I'm too picky. <g>
>>
>>I want to integrate HTML-based Help in my application. This help *has* to be displayed in a browser (preferably a browser control in my WinForm app). It *has* to be web-server-based HTML (can't download a .chm file).
>>
>>I had been looking at the Forms.Help and Forms.HelpProvider examples that I found here and there (CodeProject being one place). I tried it out, but I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to find a way to control where that HTML file gets displayed. It opens a new IE window and, as I said, I want to be able open it in my own browser control.
>>
>>Anyway, I guess what I'm asking is this: am I barking up the wrong tree with trying to use Forms.Help and Forms.HelpProvider? Is there a better way of doing Help? I'm thinking that I'm probably going to have to roll-my-own, as I seem to have to do with everything. That's ok ... I like having control over my own stuff. But, I'd like to rule out any other methodologies before resorting to my own devices. <g>
