    How do I add a Help File to my app?

    I have figured out how to show the help file (.chm) by using code, but how do I have it so when the user presses F1 the help file shows? I went to project properties and couldn't see where to input the help file.

    I could probably do that, but in past versions of VB, there was a way to specify the help file in the project properties, and it handled it for you. I am wondering if there is something like this with .Net.
