How do I integrate my help topics into Visual Studio help?
-
I am working on an SDK. I product a help file using Sandcastle and the XML Docs. Can I integrate that into Visual Studio such that pressing F1 on a type from my SDK will bring up the correct entry?

<ooo> <ooo> <ooo>This is a three step process with a prerequisite. Prerequisite: download and install the Visual Studio SDK[^] (this link is for VS 2005). The SDK includes the Help Integration Wizard which will be necessary in the following steps. 1. Compile the documentation in Help2x format using Sandcastle. 2. Create a new Help Integration Wizard project in Visual Studio: a. File -> New -> Project... b. Expand "Other Project Types". c. Select "Extensibility". d. Select "Help Integration Wizard" and click the "OK" button. e. On Page 1 of the Wizard, select "Setup Project". f. On Page 2 of the Wizard, add the .HxS file output from step 1 as the source. g. Complete the Wizard: (see How to: use the Help Integration Wizard[^] for a detailed description of the remaining wizard steps). 3. Install the Setup project created in Step 2.
