How do I provide help for my .NET application?

Question

I'd like to write and distribute a help system with my application, that allows people to search for keywords, look at tables of contents, etc. I also want the same help available offline and online. What utility should I use?

Answer 1

Have a look at Adobe RoboHelp

Answer 2

There are lots of commercial tools available.

If you want a free one you could get HTML help Workshop from Microsoft (This has all info about that). On this page there is even more info including a list to other tools.

Answer 3

I have been using Help & Manual for years - and love it.
