We are adding help files to our WPF application in Visual Studio 2010. We have not been able to find so far a method that we have been able to use.
We have some HTML help files, currently they are just in a directory, not added to the WPF project.
We don't have index or search.
I have seen that maybe we can do something with cmh, but this seems quite old and outdated now.
Ideally we would like all this in WPF, but if its not possible we need another solution.
We would like to be able to hit F1, have our main help page displayed (we have this now, it opens in our browser) and additionally add Index and Search to our main help page.
Can anyone point us in the right direction please?
Maybe you should take a look at the Process.Start Method page on MSDN. In particular, the Process.Start Method (String) page has a code example showing how to open web pages from a WPF application.
To do this inside a WPF application, look at the WebBrowser Class page at MSDN. This also provides a code example of loading a web page into your application.
EDIT >>> After re-reading your post, I realise that I missed the bit about searching and indexing. Surely, you can just search through the web pages yourself? Just open each page and use something like
if (webPageContent.Contains(searchTerm)) return webPageContent;

I've just taken over as a developer for an already existing website made in Drupal 7. And somehow I'm finding it hard to change the content on one of the pages.
https://www.wheelandbarrow.com.au/gift-cards
I'm wanting to change the text at the bottom of the page under Terms and Conditions.
Cant find it ANYWHERE inside the Drupal CMS, it doesnt appear under content, pages, modules or nodes etc... I've literally been searching everywhere for hours.
Figured it might be hard coded so I've also done half a dozen keyword searched within my repository code - but no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Craig.
It is panel, look at source code.
Go to the admin/structure/pages/edit/node_view
I think that it is correct panel, find your variant and edit custom block text.
This is a hard question to search for as "help" and "documentation" generates a lot of false hits. I basically want to show some simple documentation or help in my Silverlight app. And I don't want to write this in XAML, obviously, so I would love to be able to add a WordPad (or similar, free and easy) document to my app that would get display with some basic formatting in Silverlight.
Any ideas?
Try embedding an iframe using an iframe overlay, then you can load any HTML-like content.
There is an excellent explanation of how to do this here:

I'm using DNN 5 for a hobby site. I know asp.net development, but have never written a DNN module.
The site is basically a project log. I want content areas that combine text and image thumbnails in a page, like a set of instructions. When a user clicks a thumbnail, display a popup div containing a larger image modal like on a lot of sites these days. Basically I'm looking to wrap each image in functionality like provided by highslide JS, but I can't figure out the right way to implement highslide JS in DNN.
I'm not averse to buying a module that does this for me, but everything I've found is more gallery based. The main difference is I want to control individual images that are among/next to the text, not a set of of images for users to scroll through.
I figure this can't be too crazy an idea, someone must have done it before. Any tips on good approaches would be appreciated. I'm tempted just to go edit source, but that makes upgrading a pain...
Thanks!
If anyone else is looking for this functionality, there's a project on Codeplex which looks pretty good at least as a gallery for DNN. It implements the highslide type popups well.

I want to create/design the similar to above site/url using silverlight.
For this I have created separate user controls(Xaml files). Please advice me the steps/way to proceed in silveright. I am using silverlight versin 2.
I am thinking to use Wrappanel to adjust all the xmal files in Home page/default page. so that I can navigate to any page.
You can grab the XAP from your internet cache, open it with any zip tool and then use something like reflector to look in the DLLs to get the XAML out, should you desire to see how they did it themselves.
There's actually a project on codeplex which demonstrates how to do this dashpart effect with full source code called blacklight, so the above is probably not necessary.
I've searched around for a while today, but I haven't been able to come up with an AutoComplete TextBox code sample for Silverlight 2 Beta 2. The most promising reference was found on nikhilk.net but the online demo doesn't currently render and after downloading a getting the code to compile with Beta 2, I couldn't get the Silverlight plugin it to render either. I think it is fair to say it is a compatibility issue, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any alternate sample code or implementation suggestions?
You may want to take a look at my blog: http://weblogs.manas.com.ar/ary/2008/09/26/autocomplete-in-silverlight/
You simply write in your XAML:
manas:Autocomplete.Suggest="DoSuggest"
and then in the class file, you need to implement that method, which report suggestions to a delegate. The options can be hardcoded, requested to a web service, or whaterver.
Take a look at the combobox(very close to a autocomplete text box) at worksight's blog Silverlight ComboBox
There is also another good example here:
http://silvermail.com.au
This is a Silverlight based mail client that looks a little like Outlook. When I go to send mail and start typing in the "To" text box, an auto-complete pops up and populates the control for me based on values in a list... I think it automatically stores the addresses in isolated storage, but that's just a guess.
This is a really handy tool for checking mail while away from my home PC... at work for example... and it is loaded with impressive Silverlight functionality.
