7.1. Hacks 59-67
To be an efficient developer you have to know how to best get help
and perform research. It is not a coincidence that most developers
discovered Google before normal users did and probably use Google
more than most users. Looking for documentation and researching
problems and bugs is a large part of any
programmer's job. Knowing the best ways to get help
and do your own research goes a long way to making you a more
efficient developer.
The hacks in this chapter cover how to use the help built into Visual
Studio as well as a number of different ways to search Google and
other search engines directly from Visual Studio.
You'll also see how to delve into the internals of
the .NET Framework using both ILDASM and Reflector, how to use FxCop
to enhance the quality of your code, and how to use the Allocation
Profiler that examines the garbage collection heap.
