Add an event handler for a control's HelpRequested event and then use the Help.ShowHelp.

For example,

private void button1_HelpRequested(object sender, HelpEventArgs hlpevent)
{
   Help.ShowHelp(this, "helpfile.chm", HelpNavigator.TopicId, "1234");
}

You can use different HelpNavigator options to show things like the table of contents, etc.
