Online Search
One of the best new features in Visual Studio 2005 is the ability to search
online resources directly from Visual Studio. Using this new online search
feature, you can search not only MSDN online but also any of the sites that
are part of the CodeWise community of sites. The first time you use help in
Visual Studio 2005, you’ll be asked to choose how you want to use online
help. The default is to use local help as the primary source, but to also con-
sult online help when you are connected to the Internet. You will need to
agree to the online help privacy policy if you choose to use it.
The CodeWise community is a collection of Microsoft
endorsed technical sites. Chances are you have run across
some of these sites as they include favorites like CodeProject,
DotNetJunkies, and the ASPAlliance. For more information,
please refer to http://www.gotdotnet.com/content/codewise.
