Title: problem viewing help
Post by: Tanja on 2007-11-20, 05:15:13 PM
there are some links in the help, like f.e. frmControls Members -> RightToLeftChanged, which don't open normally. instead there is a site that reads: "the site can not be viewed, please check your browser settings."
i downloaded then a tool called CHM Decoder, which saves all html files separately, hoping to find a html named RightToLeftChanged or sth.
but the problem probably lies here:
ms-help://MS.NETFrameworkSDKv1.1/cpref/html/frlrfSystemWindowsFormsControlClassRightToLeftChangedTopic.htm
my browser doesn't how to deal with "ms-help"

help?

The automatically-generated help files create information based on the program information within the Assembly Classes.  Windows Forms, for example, contain many methods and attributes that control how they function, which are not SGDK2-specific.  The auto-help-generator expects the same program to be run on the Windows Form class, but it wasn't, because that help is not part of SGDK2.  If you really want to know about it, you can find the information on MSDN (http://www.msdn.com)

I think the links to the .NET Framework help will work if you have Visual Studio installed.  But I'm not sure if Visual Studio express would work because that's designed for .NET 2.0, and SGDK2 uses .NET 1.1.  Durnurd, do you know?  Does it work for you?

I do indeed have the same problem.  I wouldn't have known the reason otherwise.
