How to use the help provider in c++.net windows form application?

I want to build a help file and wany to know if it is correct to use this control?

I guess this control is not the tool to create a help file for me; I searched in google and heard people say it needs a chm file, what is it?

Anyone please teach me how to build a help file.

I need to show it when user click help button on my toolbar (just like the help function in other application).

You need to write your help file manually and then convert it to chm for use in your application. Take a look at some of these links[^] for 'help'.
