HACK
While Visual Studio’s search is somewhat good, you may find turning to
your favorite online search engine more helpful. However, read on for some
improvements in Visual Studio 2005 that extend the help system and even
include online sources.
Visual Studio 2005 Help System
Visual Studio 2005 includes all the help features you have become accus-
tomed to in prior version of Visual Studio, but also includes a number of
new helpful features.
How do I? The first new feature in Visual Studio 2005 help is the How Do I
tab in the new help window. In Figure 7-7, you can see this tab inside the
new help window.
The How Do I tab includes links to a number of tutorials on various tasks
you might want to perform while in Visual Studio. From Figure 7-7, you can
also see the new help window, which gives you a central window from
which to work with all the different parts of help. This window also includes
new features like Help Favorites, which allow you to bookmark help topics
or search results and access them from a single window.
