Now, by default, on a Windows system, this type of file opens in Microsoft HTML Help. I would like to find a way to display the contents of this help file in our .NET C# application, preferably on a panel component. It would be nice if the sidebar could be included (or a sidebar of sorts) which allows the user to select the topic to view or search the help file for content.
The files behind the compiled CHM file consist of AML files, rather than HTML files (due to me using the MAML mark-up language and not HTML); I am unsure whether I can get to any HTML files which may have been produced as a result of the compile.
I imagine there may be some sort of ActiveX control for this? I couldn't find any when searching. If not, is there any other way I can display this help file on a panel, as described?

I have created some help documentation for my company's software, using Microsoft Assistance Markup Language; I have compiled this using Sandcastle Help File Builder, resulting in a decent CHM help file.

Any help would be much appreciated :happy:
