How does one link Pocket PC Help topics with a program using managed code? I
have an application just about finished, the Help is written and all run on
Pocket PC devices, but I'm unable to find any documentation on how to wire
the help topics with my application. I have been through Susan Buckley's Feb
2002 paper on MSDN but it only refers to CreateProcess. I would prefer to do
it all in C# managed code.

Anyone have some suggestions?

The only way to start the help browser (peghelp.exe) from .NET code is
through P/Invoke to CreateProcess - its fairly painless. The article
describes using named sections within the file, you pass these in on the
command line to open up specific topics. The process is almost exactly the
same as with eVB (or eVC) once you have defined your P/Invoke definition.
Unfortunately you cannot utilise the Help click event (for Start > Help)
which was possible in eVB.
