We have an app that we'd like to set up so that the help is stored in a database rather than a help file. Can HelpProvider be used, or extended to use, ADO.NET or a Web service, to display help that's not stored in a file Is there some documentation or sample that shows what has to be overridden if this can indeed be done
Thanks.
Custom HelpProvider to store help in SQL Server

Yes u can bind your hepl provider with ADO.net or web service. Suppose u set your help like this
this.helpProvider1.SetShowHelp(this.zipTextBox, true);
this.helpProvider1.SetHelpString(this.zipTextBox, "Enter the zip code here.");
While setting the SetHelpString get the string from a dataset or webservice like
this.helpProvider1.SetShowHelp(this.zipTextBox, true);
this.helpProvider1.SetHelpString(this.zipTextBox, Dataset1.Tables[0].Rows[0][1].ToString());
