How can I use Cyrillic strings in Win Form HelpProvider class?

That's what I got now:

  this.helpProvider.SetShowHelp(this.gaParametersText, true);
  this.helpProvider.SetHelpString(this.gaParametersText, "Введите переменные в виде границ поиска, например [0;1][0.7;1.9]");

It works fine, but there is an encryption problem.

enter image description here

How can I fix it?

HelpProvider is quite outdated. Have you considered using ToolTip instead?

ToolTip toolTip1 = new ToolTip();
toolTip1.Show("Русский текст", this.gaParametersText)

If it's really necessary, I would suggest digging into pInvoking hhctrl.ocx for example, http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/hhctrl.htmlhelp

It looks likes HelpProvider is poorly implemented. See this comment on HelpProvider and Unicode.
