Chapter 14. Visual Studio .NET Help
The MSDN Library that ships with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET contains a huge amount of data that developers can use in building their solutions in the IDE. It contains so much data, in fact, that finding what you're looking for can be a chore. Fortunately, the Help facility in Visual Studio .NET is extremely extensible. You can customize it to improve search performance and to ensure you're getting the exact information you need. You can also use it to publish context-sensitive help for your own libraries, assemblies, and add-ins and have that information available to developers from within the IDE. You can even add your documentation to the Visual Studio .NET Help Table of Contents, Search, and Index windows, making it extremely easy for other programmers to access your information.In this chapter, we'll spend some time describing how to customize the Help facility in Visual Studio .NET and how to build your own Help collections in Visual Studio .NET.
