Download Microsoft HTML Help workshop and go through the documentation n msdn. It is pretty easy to build CHM files and I am sure within days you will be an expert.

Re: How to make *.chm file

Hi All,

I could make chm help file successfully by using HTML Help Workshop. Thanks, Shuja Ali.

Here I get a problem in project publishing. I add my chm file used this statement :
helpProvider1.HelpNamespace = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "project name Help.chm";
I publish my project and install this setup but at that time, can't call help file by pressing F1. Where should I assign chm file path? (Help file well operates on running exe file under Debug folder.)

Pls share to me.

It does not come in Visual Studio . Its a seperate package all together, you need to purchase it or even some 1 month free trial version should be available.Just go to google and try searching for INSTALL SHIELD , you might get some links.
