Help 3
Microsoft Help 3 is a new help system that will
ship with Visual Studio 2010. This help system has
been built from the ground up with simplicity, performance and relevance in
mind. The end result is a greatly improved deployment model, a fast
underlying architecture based on the Zip storage standard and a beautiful
new WPF-based help viewer featuring a web
browser feel.
 A
complete integration of a new Assistance Platform Help into the operating
system Windows happened with the launch of Windows
Vista, the successor of Windows XP and formerly code-named Longhorn.
Windows Vista includes AP Help 1.0. A Compiler/Decompiler
GUI (xHelpMarkup) is available now.
 Help
2 is the help for Visual Studio.net now and was original planned for the
next generation of the Microsoft's online help system. The Microsoft®
Help team has decided not to release Microsoft Help 2 as a general Help
platform (see Longhorn Help)!
 HTMLHelp
1. x is the current help system since Windows 98. I recommend you furthermore
to use this help system. You are supported by Visual Studio.net and many
other tools when developing help systems based on HTMLHelp.
WinHelp 1.0 (.hlp) has been around since the early '90s and has largely
been superseded by HTML Help 1.x (.chm). WinHelp will be phased out starting
with Windows Vista and not ship with the new operating system! So, this
section is no longer quite current but perhaps useful for converting.
Integrate Winhelp and HTML HELP files into your Visual Basic 6 application.
 Visual
Basic .net in connection with online help.
 Visual Basic
Express provides a lightweight experience for first-time programmers and
hobbyists who are interested in building Windows Forms applications, console
applications, and class libraries.
 Visual
BASIC for Applications and online help - the integration is a frequently
asked question which is explained exemplarily here.
