I'm just wondering if it would be possible for a CHM version of the API docs to be published along with each release? It would certainly come in handy.
If nobody has time, I can look into it later this week when I get some time myself.
We use sandcastle for generating the docs on build and I believe that it supports CHMs as well. If anyone knows how, just let us know and we can add it to the build process
Ok, looks like I was mistaken about the life of Sandcastle, it must have been about the fact it was moved onto Codeplex, it's no longer a MS-build tool.

Thoughts?
It'd be possible, but I'm not sure if it'd get done.
I personally don't find much use in CHM documentation and the developers I work with don't use them either.
If you did generate the CHM's we can easily link them off the wiki here.

Is Sandcastle still active? I thought I read a blog last year that the project was shut down since Microsoft is trying to kill the CHM file format

Here's a post on how to generate the CHM - http://blogs.msdn.com/sandcastle/archive/2006/07/29/682398.aspx
You could have that in the post-build section of release build config
