They have since announced their intentions not to develop the .CHM format further.

I've tried looking around, and all I find is a page from Embarcadero stating that the function exists, but nothing on its syntax, and MSDN is no help as I can only find the BizTalk version which does me no good. Does anyone have a

I need to write a help file for a WinForms app in Visual Studio 2010. Ideally, I'd like to use a tool that integrates with Visual Studio, rather than a totally separate tool.

I also know there was a tool built into the Visual Studio 2005 SDK, but I need something for 2010. it is an awkward target for tool vendors. In most shops, the help is authored by professional writers that don't have any use for Visual Studio in their day-to-day activities. Third party authoring tools like RoboHelp is
