Microsoft Help Viewer 2.0

Home

This site contains Microsoft Help Viewer 2.x code examples and information.

Help Viewer 2.0 is the help system for Visual Studio 2012 (VS11) and Windows 8. Both these have identical runtime DLLs but under different names and location.
The VS11 release date was 2012-09-12.

My code examples for HV2 are on codeplex: http://helpviewer2.codeplex.com/
Microsoft documentation for HV1 and HV2 is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff576659.aspx

The examples and tutorials are available thanks to the support and partnership of Paul O'Rear [Microsoft] & the Microsoft help team.
