Re-post: No index after build
(Reposting because this did not appear yesterday.)
I'm back to documenting the process for developing .NET integrated help
and since it's been a while, some details are foggy and I am working
through snags as if from scratch. Here's the problem.
I am working with a small demo project, containing a few topics but all
required elements, while building the doc. I have a successful build,
no errors or warnings. In the viewer, for the Index tab, I have a
message "No index has been defined for the current help collection."
>From the Search tab, if I search for a keyword that I know to be
defined in a topic, I get a "HelpDocHelp" error message "The operation
could not be completed."
All pieces appear to be in place: I have defined K keywords in topic
XML data islands. My .HxC includes <KeywordIndexDef> and <ItemMoniker>
is present for !DefaultKeywordIndex with InitData="K", which matches
the Name attribute in the project's K.HxK file.
All elements appear to match those in my live project, where K keywords
defined in topic XML data islands all appear properly in the index tab
(when I display it in the viewer for comparison). In the .HxC for both
files, the <ItemMoniker> for !DefaultFullTextSearch has InitData=""
because I wish to limit the index to K keywords only.
I have reviewed all files and can't find a difference between the two
projects. What have I left out? Thanks in advance for anyone's insight.
