Spread Studio for .NET
Viewing Help Content

There are several ways to view the help content provided with the product. Each of these forms contains the same content.

Stand-Alone Help

The product documentation is available in an HxS file. To view the files in stand-alone mode, from the Start menu in Windows, select the following:

  Start -> Programs -> ComponentOne -> Spread.NET 7 -> Product,

and then select the product help (for the entire product documentation) or Formula Reference (for just the Formula Reference which is common to all Spread .NET products).

If you have one of the Microsoft development products installed on your machine, and you would like to view the help content outside the Visual Studio .NET development environment, then you may open Microsoft Help 2.0 (.HxS) files using the supplied Microsoft Document Explorer (DExplore.exe) viewer. GrapeCity provides the Spread product documentation in one HxS file and the Formula Reference in another HxS file.

Printable Documentation

The Spread product documentation is also available in PDF files for easy viewing and printing. From the Start menu in Windows, select

 Start -> Programs -> ComponentOne -> Spread.NET 7 -> Product -> Printable Documentation.

An HTML page is displayed in your browser with a selection of links to PDF files and a link to download the latest Acrobat Reader.

CHM File

The Spread WinRT documentation is available in a CHM file. To view the files in stand-alone mode, from the Start menu in Windows, select

 Start -> Programs -> ComponentOne -> Spread WinRT -> Product,

and then select Spread WinRT Help.

The Spread WPF-Silverlight documentation is available in a CHM file. To view the files in stand-alone mode, from the Start menu in Windows, select

 Start -> Programs -> ComponentOne -> Spread WPF-Silverlight 7.0 -> Product,

and then select Spread Silverlight or Spread WPF Help.

Stand-Alone CHM File

The product documentation is also available in a compiled help file (CHM file) under the <Install Directory>\Docs\Product folder.

Integrated Help
