Publish your help files or documentation on the Web. Help Server is ASP.NET application that exposes content of .CHM help files on the web, so users all over the world may browse them online using generally any web browser (for example, Internet Explorer or Firefox). Help Server user interface is very similar to built-in Windows Help Server (or MSDN Library Viewer), which is quite familiar to Windows users.

What's new in Help Server V1.6.6?

• Client synchronization on changes in server help files has been improved
• Synchronization starts on any server request, not only on tree updates
• Only tree refreshes on synchronization, not the entire page

Standard Edition (Web Server License) features

• Allows you to install Help Server on a single production Web server (possibly - hosted)
• Top frame copyright & link to X-tensive.com always present
• Web application source code included

Professional Edition (Redistribution License) features

• Allows you to install Help Server on any number of web servers, as well as redistribute it along with your own products
• Table of contents maximal size unlimited nodes
• Top frame copyright & link to X-tensive.com can be removed
• Web application and Help Server controls source code included

Common features

Windows Help Viewer \ MSDN Library Viewer look & feel:

• 3-area UI: full-width header, left and right panes
• Left pane displays a set of tabs ('Contents', 'Index', 'Search')
• Right pane displays active topic
• Header can display generally anything - it's fully customizable

Convenient content tree (TOC) navigation:

• AJAX-based navigation tree implementation
• Node content is transparently requested from the server when it's opened for the first time
• 'Show next N...' feature: when there are more then 50 child nodes, they're shown part-by-part (50, 100, 200, etc.)
• Automatic synchronization of left and right panes on link proceeding
• 'Sync' button brings URL of active document to the topmost frame

Convenient index navigation:

• AJAX-based implementation
• Index page content is transparently requested from the server on typing or scrolling

Search features:

• Full-text search based on full-text indexes stored in help files. Search tab looks almost the same as in MSDN Library Viewer

Single configuration point - Config.xml file:

• Allows to join multiple .CHM and HTML files into the global table of contents
• Simple XML structure

Zero downtime is guaranteed on updates of help. Such updates may continue for many hours - client will be able to browse old help collections until it's finished, and will notice the update only by tree refresh on the next subsequent request. The moment of help update completion is determined automatically.

Extremely large help collections are supported - for example, browsing a collection of 100000-1000000 documents shouldn't be a problem at all.

Compatible with leading browsers and all crawlers

• Internet Explorer 5.5+, Mozilla and Firefox are currently fully supported
• Spiders and crawlers are provided with special versions of TOC web pages allowing them to index the whole document hierarchy

Customizable

• Logo and all visible strings\messages are fully customizable
• 2 skins are bundled into installation package: one is similar to new MSDN Library Viewer (Grey), another is close to Office 2003 (Blue)

Reusable

• Help Server provides a JavaScript API allowing you to utilize its functionality in your web application.
• All files contained in .CHM help files are exposed for web browsers as if they are located in folders with the name of the .CHM files - so switching from locally installed help to online help (and vice versa) can be easily implemented - it's just necessary to modify the prefixes of URLs pointing of help topics
• Help Server UI is built with a set of its own ASP.NET controls. All these controls as well as all .aspx pages using them are shipped with full source code, so it's possible to customize almost any part of UI. The only closed part is HelpEngine used by these controls - it's shipped as a set of assemblies.
