Help on Help please.

Hello everyone.
I'm new to this forum, having been on the outside looking in for a while I decided to sign up.
I have a question that maybe someone can answer. I have written an application in VB.Net, not sure which version it's the one that comes free with the 'Dummies' book, and wish to add some help. I have included the 'HelpProvider' control but I'm not sure what to do next. I've researched on the internet and from what I can learn it appears I need something called a .CHM file, how do I create one of these?
I only want to include a simple help facility, maybe a few screen shots etc.

Thanks in anticipation.
A.

Hi

A chm file is the "html" version of any help file. I've never made any help files. Only in VB6 10 years ago. Perhaps some of this tools could be helpfull:
Free Help File Tools downloads

There really isn't/hasn't been much support for local help across the board. I wonder if that's due to an increase in help for products being available on the company's website(s).

I don't even use the local Office or MSDN systems, I always look for answers on MS's websites.
