importing TChart help into the VS.net2003 and VS.Net2005 IDE

Dear Supporter
I’m sure this has been asked before, so my apologies,
It seems that the installation does not automatically import TChart help info into the VS.Net IDE (I've been struggling with this for years now).

What am I doing wrong? Can this be done manually afterwards? If so, how?

Thanks
Francis

Dear Francis,

This works fine for us here using TeeChart for .NET v3 installers. Which TeeChart version are you using? Are you using the latest maintenance release available at the client download area?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Calvin,
The latest builds of V2 for both .Net2003 and .Net2005, downloaded today.

Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing: I expect to be able to access the TChart help from within the .Net development environment. Either through the Help menu or the context help (F1 when a Tchart object is selected).

I don't think I was ever able to do that, and I must have installed probably 10 to 20 updates and new installations over the last 5 years by now.

Any suggestions?
Cheers
Francis

Yes, that's what I'm talking about.

You could try manually adding a binary key called TeeChartNET2.chm at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\HTML Help in the Windows registry. This key should point to the path where the help file is located, for example: C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart for .NET v2\Docs.
