Providing Help in .NET CF 2.0 - Pocket PC app

[Nathan]

I wonder what are the best options for providing Help in a Pocket PC
Application in .NET CF 2.0

I think in 1.0, you pinvoked Peghelp. It seems that there are some new help
related classes in 2.0 that weren't in the CF before.

Any reccommendations?

Any articles I should read on the options?

Thanks

Nathan

The Help.ShowHelp method will invoke peghelp with your specified htm file
and optionally topic bookmark. Other than this most of the same rules
apply:-

Some applications that you see today for the PPC are designed against
Microsoft's design principles which is to add buttons which fire off the
help. It should be done via the start menu. In CF 2.0 you can register these
events easily so capture when a user has requested help for a particular
screen.
