XAML displayed in a CHM help file

Samstag, Januar 19th, 2008

Just want to have some XAML graphs displayed in a help topic and rather have them in a vector format seemed to be a problem. One request was that the user can see without having to install additional plugins (as needed for SVGs).

Assuming that anybody reading a help file about code using WPF/XAML/Silverlight have it installed already and is able to see it. Otherwise a “Get Microsoft Silverlight” is displayed. The Silverlight.js included is the one shipped with the Silverlight SDK.

Download a CHM example (and HTMLHelp Workshop Project) to see how it works.

HHReg available in English and German

Sonntag, Januar 13th, 2008

HHReg, a popular free HTML Help registration utility designed by EC-Software has been updated to version 1.2 and now comes with a dual-language binary that contains English and German. HHReg is designed for end users and security is a critical issue! For this reason, HHReg detects the system language and automatically switches the user interface language.
