Just create another form that contains the information, and set an event in your main form to show this second form when the user presses F1. What's the difficulty?

Are you saying you want your Help Form to have the "look and feel" of the Windows System Help Dialogue, and have all the same Controls, and functionality ? That Help Dialogue is actually an HTML page being shown in an IE browser window.

yeah... I want the same...
Help me out plz..

I think if you are fairly new to C# and .NET that re-creating a Form with the functionality of the Win System Help would require tremendous effort on your part.

I encourage you to consider using a .chm file instead, and you can find articles here on CodeProject to help you with that:
