can I create help files in html help and add it to vb.net or are there another way to implement help system on vb.net I want to create custom help files
The .CHM file format (Compiled HTML) is the current format used for help files wit Winforms/WPF .Net application.
There are a variety of ways to create CHM files. I'd suggest checking out this question for more details on how to accomplish this.
For ASP.Net applications, you would need to generate your own help pages.

We are trying to create a Visio project file and to process it with an external tool to generate a json file that a web app can read to create a decision tree based on the json contents.
We know about 3rd parties to automate MS Word files but no idea if there are others dealing with Visio files.
Google didn't return anything valid as per Automation it always returns links to how to program macros on it.
Any help will be appreciated.
There are many ways to automate Visio: macros, .net plugins, python, pascal, even windows powershell.
But if your final aim is getting Visio to the web, you may try the following link.

The tool exports the drawing to an SVG embedded in an HTML file with Javascript functionality. Definitely worth a look.
I am working on windows based application. Using VB.Net.
So the question is, I want to create/generate a Non-editable PDF from vb.net window application. Can anyone please suggest some ideas or helpful links... That could help to me to solve my problem.
Note: I have the idea of creating pdf file using read only but some software cracks it and make it read/write. So I do not want to do that
You can use ITEXTSHARP to generate the pdf files,
But there is no way to block a user from editing it explicitly.
There is one thing which you can do.
You can generate the password protected files, doing so you can restrict a user from editing it.
Find the below links.

I am seeking to read in the DICOM Image tags one tag at a time in Visual Basic 2010. Then I would like to read in the header. Does anyone have any ideas. i will be grateful
Please see this question on .NET DICOM libraries. Using any one of these libraries would allow you to open and parse the file. Each library has their own methods for reading tags which can be accessed from VB.NET.
If you want to use ClearCanvas, you can use this answer to show in C# how to load a file and traverse through the attributes, it would be a starting point to convert into vb.net.
I need to read data inside a PDF file in an ASP page.
I will need convert the file to another format or is there another way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
You will need to either have a text file or a COM library that can understand PDF files, such as http://www.asppdf.com/ (result from Google search, this is not a product recommendation, only an example).
Amyuni PDF Creator ActiveX fits this scenario if a commercial library is an option for you. You can find examples for Visual Basic here.
Usual disclaimer applies
I'm developing a program in vb.net, and I want to add in some help pages to the program, without using web-based help, so more like when you hit F1 in the Microsoft Office programs.
Is there a straightforward way of doing this, other than just making it via lots of forms?
Thanks in advance!
Perhaps a small Sqlite database with the help content and a help browser that reads the content from the database?
Other than that you have CHM and HLP formats. With CHM you can use the HelpProvider to provide this information to your user.
