Hi
For the implementation below, When I run the application on my machine the help file will be displayed if I click on the help button or when I hit F1 key.
But, when I make the installer or try this on another workstation, then it wont run. I know that this is because of the help file location. But what is the best location to save the pdf help file? Did I also miss something? I want other user to be able to view it if they use the application on their computers.
Also, I did the following to embed a file in my application and start it:
1.Right click your project and select Add - Existing Item
2.Select your file (don't double click it) •Click the little arrow next to the Add button and select Add As Link
3.Double click on Properties - Resources.resx
4.Click the little arrow next to Add Resource and select Add Existing File
5.Select the same file again in the open dialog
My implementation:
private void hELPToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\\Users\\User\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2010\\Projects\\Project\\Resources\\HelpFile.pdf");
}
catch (Exception )
{
}
}
private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
try
{
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F1)
{
Process.Start("C:\\Users\\User\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2010\\Projects\\Project\\Resources\\HelpFile.pdf");
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ex.ToString();
}
