Context Help for My Code

So,

We develop an Assembly.  It has a slew of XML documentation for Intellisense built in.  But every now and then, like when I'm playing around with XDocument instead of XmlDocument, the intellisense isn't everything, so as per any other user of Visual Studio, I hit F1 on the current type, method, member, etc, and voila, I am immediately transported to MSDN with help on the .Net libraries.

Now, stop being selfish here and tell me how I can incorporate the same functionality into my designs.  *wink wink*.

Yes, I'd personally like it to just be an XML tag in the help ref, that I can simply put:

<summary>
  This Method works.</summary><param name="Parameter>Parameter has a type</param><returns>Something</retuns><contextHelp>HTTP://MyDomain/MyHelp/MethodName</contextHelp>

Now, yes I searched, and found something called the "Help Integration Wizard".  But guess what: It don't exist for 2013! Or at least no where I could find.  Nothing out there seems tot tell me how I can Compile an assembly, that when another developer uses it, they can "F1" on any type or method as the type and instead of sending them to Microsoft's MSDN "We don't recognize that thingy" page, I can send them to my own.

Thanks

PS - Don't mark answers on other people's questions. There are such things as Vacations and Holidays which may reduce timely activity, and until the person asking the question can test your answer, it is not correct just because you think it is. Marking it correct for them often stops other people from even reading the question and possibly providing the real "correct" answer.
