Help Server is a web-based ASP.NET application that enables the browsing of .CHM help files over the internet. Functions similarly to the Windows Help Viewer or MSDN Library Viewer.
Help Server Express is a free ASP.NET application that offers a simple and efficient way of exposing product help on the web in MSDN style. It also allows for the integration of a full-featured help browser into ASP.NET applications. With Help Server Express, browsing .CHM (and soon .HxS) help files is made easy without having to extract their content to a temporary location.
The application exposes these files in almost the same way that the built-in Windows Help Viewer or MSDN Library Viewer does. Users can take advantage of the online demo to see it in action. The demo includes two CHM files containing almost 10000 topics and compressed HTML with a size of 18 Mb (uncompressed size is ~ 150 Mb)!
Overall, Help Server Express is an excellent solution for those looking for a straightforward way of browsing and integrating help files into their ASP.NET applications. Its freeware nature is an additional advantage.
