.chm help file

[koen]

is it possible to create a .chm file with visual studio .net or do I have to use a program like winhelp for it?

 

because when I installed winhelp, it said theire allready was a better version of the program installed on my computer.

If you turn on the XML Documentation File in a C# project (under Configuration Properties/Build/Outputs in Project Properties), you can generate a .CHM file via NDoc (free, open source utility).

 

You use the "///" notation before all your functions, properties, etc in code to add "<summary>" tags then fill in the text yourself. This is what goes into the .XML file which NDoc will parse out to .CHM, or even a decent HTML site if so desired.
