Update - TestCase/Lab Download Available - FastTrack: MSHelp2 VS2005 Integration

Hi Friends,

As an addition to the FastTrack: MSHelp2 VS2005 Integration paper, I built a simple Test Case/Lab H1 (.chm) package to use for practice purposes. The web page contents of the Lab package are the same as in the paper, but in .chm format.

It's located at the same URL as the paper:
http://helpware.net/mshelp2/frank/help2.htm

There are two zipped downloads available:

• the .chm standalone file: link = Download CHM Version
• the TestCase/Lab folder: link = Download CHM Version with help source

The "Download CHM Version with help source" folder includes the .chm, .hhp, .hhc, .hhk files, 2 x .css external stylesheets, a Search Stop List.stp file, images folder and the .xhtml 1.1 web pages.

The .xhtml 1.1 web pages and the .css external stylesheets were successfully validated against their respective w3c Validator Tools.

You can use this TestCase/Lab to practice with before using one of your own H1 Projects in the H1 to H2 conversion and VS2005 integration process.

My many thanks and appreciation go once again to Microsoft Help MVP Rob Chandler for allowing these downloads to be posted on his Helpware FAR website.

Hope this helps,
