DataWindow .NET includes several forms of online Help. Read this section to determine which Help files you need to install.
If you have Visual Studio .NET 2005 installed, you can install context-sensitive reference help for the DataWindow assembly in Microsoft Help 2 format (DataWindowReference.HxS). To do so, select DataWindow Reference on the Select Components page in the common setup program.
This Help is added to the Visual Studio .NET 2005 Help namespace. It displays in the Visual Studio .NET Help contents, index, and search lists and provides dynamic help using the F1 key.
This Help can be displayed only from within Visual Studio or using Microsoft or third-party tools that are not installed on most systems. See “Reference help in compiled HTML Help format” for how to install the same information in a more generally accessible format.
Reference help for the DataWindow .NET assembly in compiled HTML Help format (dwref20.chm) provides the same information as the Microsoft Help 2 file and can be launched by double-clicking the CHM file in Windows Explorer. This file is particularly useful if you do not use Visual Studio .NET.
This help is installed by default with the DataWindow .NET component. You can deselect it by selecting the custom installation, expanding the Help node on the subcomponents page, and clearing the Reference Help check box.
You can install a compiled HTML Help file (dwnet20.chm) that contains four books: the DataWindow .NET Programmer's Guide, the DataWindow Object Reference, the DataWindow Designer User's Guide, and Connecting to Your Database, as well as dialog box Help for DataWindow .NET selection and deployment dialog boxes.
This Help is installed with both the DataWindow Designer and DataWindow .NET components. If you want to install only one copy of the file, select the DataWindow .NET custom installation, expand the Help node on the subcomponents page, and clear the Main Help check box.
When you install DataWindow Designer, context-sensitive help and reference information for DataWindow Designer in Windows Help format (dwhlp20.hlp) is installed by default. This help includes the Connection Reference, which contains descriptions of database parameters and preferences, and the DataWindow Object Reference, which contains descriptions of DataWindow expressions, expression functions, and properties.
