Jump to a class in API reference

[graealex]

My application exposes a lot of classes via TreeViews and PropertyGrid to the user. When hitting F1/Help, I want to redirect to the API reference documentation in a CHM file for that class. My questions are:

1. Is there a good way to directly launch a topic from API reference? Currently I use: System.Windows.Forms.Help.ShowHelp(null, ProvideCHM(), System.Windows.Forms.HelpNavigator.KeywordIndex, $"{typeName} class, {typeName} Class"); but it's hit and miss, even if the keyword with the exact name exists. Or is there a better way?
2. How stable is the GUID topic generation for API reference? Could I just add an attribute to each class that references the exact topic GUID and be sure that it doesn't change?

I used to have a help 1 file for SHFB and used the topic GUIDs when launching the viewer adding on an optional anchor for the section ID if necessary.

Help.ShowHelp(form, path, HelpNavigator.Topic, "html/" + topic + ".htm" + anchor)

The GUIDs are actually MD5 hashes of the topic IDs in GUID form so they are constant.

Then I shall check SHFB source code for the MD5 hashing function, I probably should be able to create the MD5 hashes from the exact namespace and class name. I'd rather avoid having to decorate all classes with redundant information. Thank you!

You may have found it but if not, it is here

Yes, I found it, and I decided to change the NamingMethod to MemberName, which makes it a lot easier to find the exact topic for a particular class, without hashing anything.
