(March 24, 2003) - eHelp Corporation has announced that their WebHelp Enterprise solution will henceforth be known as WebHelp Pro. More importantly, their RoboHelp Engine can now run as a Web service. This will allow, for example, developers to embed help searches in their own applications and call them via Web services.

In another development, the RoboHelp Engine can now link to Visual Studio directly using Microsoft’s DirectConnect technology. This means that the engine can automatically determine the appropriate files to include in its help system according to the specific languages and technologies being used.

Owing to Microsoft’s recent cancellation of its Microsoft’s Help 2.0 technology (in February) RoboHelp’s solution is now the only solution that can support Web Forms. Microsoft’s next public Help system will be for Longhorn, which will be late 2004 or early 2005 at the earliest.

Pricing for RoboHelp Office Pro is approximately $1899 for RoboHelp Office Pro and $1999 for RoboHelp Office Pro for .NET - which is a solution written in 100% "managed code." For more on these products, see www.ehelp.com/.
