You can just create html pages and use a WebBrowser to use in your program.
If you want to do exactly what visual studio does (Microsoft Help Viewer format), this is the way:

And in the url of the webBrowser put the name of the html page that you have created.

Hello,
Take a look at Sandcastle help file builder (is free) which is what I used. The main thing it does well is create help from code but once you know the tool so much more is possible.
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help, this will help others who are looking for solutions to the same or similar problem.
