We also create .CHMs with RoboHELP X5 for .NET applications. I give the
developers the names of the individual topic .HTM files within my Help
file, and they use those as the "keywords" to create the
context-sensitive help.
 
For example, the Select Files window in the application might have a
link to Product.chm > SelectFiles.htm. (I don't know exactly how the
links are implemented because I don't know C#, but presumably your
developer has done this before, from what you say.) 
 
It's not the most elegant solution, and requires a little more time than
generating a file of MapIDs, but it does work. If anybody does have a
better method than this, I'd love to hear it.
