Is it possible to create a CHM file or HTML help (akin to those created by Sandcastle) from an XSD file? Text in the xs:documentation nodes contains, well, the documentation. An example snippet from one of the XSD files I have is <xs:element name="Request" type="RequestType"> <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation> <html:p>The Request...
What's the best way to set up help (specifically HTML Help) for a Delphi application? I can see several options, all of which has disadvantages. Specifically: I could set HelpContext in the forms designer wherever appropriate, but then I'm stuck having to track numbers instead of symbolic constants. I could set HelpContext programmat...

What would be a good way to integrate a help system into Silverlight applications? The original manual is written in MS Word, so I will need some means to transfer it to whatever format you suggest.

I moved to Delphi 2007 in early 2008. It took a long time to migrate all my tools and components, and I'm not in a hurry to do that again. I moved from Delphi 6. (Bought D2006, but didn't use it much, due to the migration headaches). The MSDN / F1 help "integration" though, continues to drive me nuts pretty regularly. I access the D...
I need to propose a method for providing Help Text for the end users of a Web Application my company supports. Basically we want to have an area(s) on a Web Page where users can click or hover over and provide them with relevant Help so they don't have to refer back to the User Manual. What we want to accomplish is to have all Help Text...
This seems like a petty question, but this situation is starting to get annoying: When I'm working in VS 2008 and I want to get context-sensitive help, I highlight the term/keyword/window that I want help on, and I push F1. It brings up the MSDN help window, but it always gives me a "Page not Found"/broken link on the start, and I have...
I'm developing an applications which I've got running on a server on my linux desktop. Due to the shortcomings of Flash on Linux (read: too hard) I'm developing the (small) flash portion of the app in Windows, which means there's a lot of frustrating back and forth. Now I'm trying to capture the output of the flash portion using flash tr...

When I press F1 in Visual Studio 2008, I would like to start .NET reflector and navigate to the selected class/method (instead of waiting for the Visual Studio documentation to start up). Is it possible to configure Visual Studio in that way? Follow-up question: how to determine the type/assembly under the caret (as described in x0...
I have a large project with long namespaces, like CompanyName.Product.Component.Class Using Sandcastle to build the documentation for the namespaces, but those long namespaces really screw up the display of the contents pane in the final chm file. How can I get it to display just Component.Class in at least the Treeview panel? And...
I have been tasked to add an on-line help file to a windows application. So I have several questions in my mind: How do you create help files and how do you add them to a Windows Forms project? Is there a good way to handle them in a VS solution? Is there a tutorial on how to do this? ...
I need to document an application -- not the underlying source code. (I use Doxygen for the internal source code documentation.) What are good documentation tools for producing HTML Help files?

Is there a different instruction to use to find out what commands ...
A .NET Windows form can have a help button on the title bar when the HelpButton property is set to true (and you are not displaying minimize/maximize buttons). When this help button is clicked, the form goes into a help mode where the cursor changes and clicking elsewhere in the form does not have the usual effect. Instead a click indu...

The local help in Visual Studio 2005 never comes back with anything. Also, if I'm not connected to the Internet, of course I get nothing. When I run dexplore eventually it takes 100% of cpu. Also, the F1 help doesn't work (of course). I've repaired both VS 2005, MSDN in other orders. Any help will be appreciated! THanks -tim ...
I've got a few ruby gems that won't go away. I think it has to do with when I installed them. Occasionally I have forgotten to use "sudo" before doing a gem install, which results in a write error and from what I can gather puts a copy of the gem in my user directory instead of somewhere it can run. But gem uninstall doesn't work. ...
