Faith BOY,

It depends on where you are going to use it. If you are going to use it
strictly in a .NET environment, then you will want to extend the WebRequest
and WebResponse classes. These are the base classes used in .NET to handle
resource acquisition where the resource's location is defined by a URL.

However, if you are looking to plug into the COM infrastructure, so that
things like Internet Explorer will download your content using your scheme,
then you will have to use Asynchronous Pluggable Protocols. For more
information, check out the section of the MSDN documentation titled
"Asycnhronous Pluggable Protocols", located at (watch for line wrap):

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/networking/pluggable/pluggable.asp

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply.
I've also found same tutorial. But that's not the one i'm looking for.

I'm developing an IDE (called Software Studio) and just like vs.net i've
also a startpage and i want to display some help files there. So i've decide
to use SSHelp:// (or something like that) as my protocol. When such a link
requested within my application, i want to search it in help folder of my
application's installation folder.

Faith,

Are you using Internet Explorer to display the pages? If you are, then
the asynchronous pluggable protocol is exactly what you want to do.

I'm using IE via AxSHDocVw.dll and help files should display within my
application. I don't preffer to use asynchronous pluggable protocol, because
it registers my protocol for windows wide.

Faith BOY,

True, but you are using a windows-wide component to perform your
operation. To be honest, I don't think it is a big deal (but that's up to
you). For example, the help system for VS.NET uses internet explorer, and
you can type the URLs from there into an instance of IE and it will give you
the same content.

You could always just use the file protocol as well, having the root be
your directory where your help files are stored.
