Hey, I really felt in love with this program. But I’d like to know how can I merge the help files (htmls or chm files) with the oriented IDE of Visual Studio .Net ? I want to deploy my class library with the proper index in the IDE like other integrated libraries. How can I do this? thanks, Moshe

  I went down the H2 road too... even with some help from tools like H2Reg at www.helpware.net, I wasn't impressed with the state of things.
  
  Sure, it worked -- but doing the merge was a pain (both as a developer and as an end user... it took about 60 sec on my 2.4 GHz P4). And doing it properly, in the face of uninstalls/repairs/reinstalls, is a tall order.
  
  Several of our test machines had their whole MSDN indexes blown away, in some non-reproducible test scenarios.
  
  So I'm hot convinced H2 is ready for prime time.
  
  Now, having said that, check out this VS PowerToy...
