Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings

AKA we all need to get together and cast you a medal out of solid gold. Thank you again Pino. =)

EDIT: Quick note for everyone: In case you didn't know, go to the following site to download the requisite framework that you need to install these VS help files:

Grab HelpStudio Lite, it's free and should do the job. I'm installing it right now.

EDIT 2: Hmm, I grabbed HelpStudio, and it says it installed it successfully... but I don't see it in the help file. Is there a step I'm missing other than to install HelpStudio Lite, change my system path to point to where their utility is located, and run the batch file?

I'm sorry, I forgot to add to the files the registration utility :) I've added it to the wiki page, it can be downloaded here:

Sorry for forgetting that :S

Wow did you write all this or was it somehow derived from the source? This is great stuff, lots better than the current docs in many respects.

Do these help files work with Visual C# 2008 Express?

If so, could someone explain what I need to do with them please? :o)

@Henry:
It's generated from the code comments using Innovasys DocumentX! 2008. It could be improved via DocumentX! integrated editor but that's not my place ;)

@Matt:
Actually I do not have the Express edition but I guess they should work. Just put in one directory the unzipped helps along with its registration utility and execute the registration batch file.
