You don't create help files in VB.NET. You can use them but VS has no inbuilt functionality to create them. There are commercial tools, e.g. RoboHelp, or you can get the free HTML Help Workshop from Microsoft, which is old and limited and cumbersome but it is free.

There's also a more recent SDK, which is presumably less user friendly.

Microsoft HTML Help 1.4 SDK

You could also do as many others do and simply provide a PDF, although that can't provide the context-sensitive functionality of a CHM file.

It's quite common for people to provide the help info via their website.

A few of them will provide semi-context help by navigating to the pages and setting thing via the query string

I found WinCHM - Create Help Files, Html Help Authoring software, Make Chm, Creat Web Help winchm the best
