The .CHM file format (Compiled HTML) is the current format used for help files wit Winforms/WPF .Net application.

There are a variety of ways to create CHM files. I'd suggest checking out this question for more details on how to accomplish this.

For ASP.Net applications, you would need to generate your own help pages.
