I have HTML based help (web help) created by Robohelp
and I'm trying to call it from C#/.Net using the 2003 beta.

I'm having ASOLUTLY NO LUCK WHAT SO EVER.

I can use Help.ShowHelp() to open the main help page and choose if it should be on the TOC, search or other.

What I can't do is use the HelpProvider to launch to a specific topic. I set the HelpNamespace to the main url for example.

c:\help\console.htm

but I can not figure out how to get to other specific sections in the help.

I know for example there is a topic at;

"c:\help\console.htm#visual\overview.htm"

so what would the "Keyword" in the HelpProviders SetHelpKeyword?

i've tried
"console.htm#visual\overview.htm"
"#visual\overview.htm"
"visual\overview.htm"

and a number of other things I just can't get the HelpProvider to open to anything other than the main page.

the HelpProvider also won't let me set the namespace to the full url of a specific topic. for example;
"c:\help\console.htm#visual\overview.htm"

I know the help files are correct, since I can type urls in the browers and get to specific section in the correct manner.

any "help" appreciated
thanks
mike
