The Integrated .NET Framework 3.5 Documentation System

The final aspect of Visual Studio 2008 you must be comfortable with from the outset is the fully inte-

grated help system. The .NET Framework 3.5 SDK documentation is extremely good, very readable,

and full of useful information. Given the huge number of predefined .NET types (which number

well into the thousands), you must be willing to roll up your sleeves and dig into the provided docu-

mentation. If you resist, you are doomed to a long, frustrating, and painful existence as a .NET

developer.

Visual Studio 2008 provides the Dynamic Help window (accessible from the Help menu), which

changes its contents based on what item (window, menu, source code keyword, etc.) is currently

selected. For example, if you place the cursor on the Console class, the Dynamic Help window dis-

plays a set of links regarding the System.Console type.
