VB.net help provider

[xoggoth]

Never fannied around so long trying to get something "simple" to work.

VS 2005. All I want to do is display a different help page on a form that depends on difficulty level but just get the not found page. Say I want to show page1.html in compiled file help.chm how do I do it?

I have already tried every flipping approach/syntax I can find on the net and in the crappy .net help. Does anyone have any VB/C#.net code that they know actually works?

Cheers for any input.
