    Unhappy Embedded help file [Gave up on]

    It's me again with a question about accessing an embedded *.chm file. I have a Help.chm file embedded as a compiled resource in my form/program. My question is how can I open and show the file?

    Would maybe something with Process.Start("whatever.EXE", "\Help.chm") work? I haven't found the associated program that launches CHM files.

    So far this is what I have and it's a dud.
    Code:
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    
            Help.ShowHelp(Me, "Helpme.chm")
        End Sub

    If your project has a default namespace defined, you might need to prefix the help file name with it:

    VB Code:
    1. namespace.Helpme.chm

    I dont believe you can do it as you'll have to have a phisically created file in your hard drive
