Search for .Net Library to Generate chm files

I'm looking for a tool that will make it easy to create a chm file.

I don't need an IDE; want to handle it all through code. Don't need to import content from .Net assemblies or database schema.

So this library would have methods like

NewProject() AddTopic() GetTopic() ReIndex() OutputToCHM() Etc()

The only thing I can find that is close is开发者_如何学Python From WestWind Software. But I don't need all that additional functionality for $299.

Sandcastle is a great tool, especially with the Sandcastle Help File Builder, but this is an IDE rather than a library.

However, there is this library on the CodeProject web site. I must confess that I have never used it, but it appears to be able to assist in compiling the CHM file. Regarding the actual topic files, I think it requires you to create them.

I hope this is of some use!

Have you looked at SandCastle?

I know that it has an IDE and that it generates chm files from assemblies. But it is also open source so with a bit of hacing you might be able to save those 299$.
