    Help is updating to reflect your recent changes. This may take several minutes. ARGH!!! Accidentally hit F1 in VS. Now I have plenty of time to post a message.

    One of the most annoying messages. I wouln't mind so much if I used help but I never do as it isn't helpful at all.

      Sometimes I remove F1 from my keyboard.

      Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

      Maybe google should have bought the F1.com domain, then when you press F1 it searches there instead.

        Agreed. I found a macro that lets you highlight a word in VS and hit ALT-G. It opens a Google results page in VS. The macro inserts "C# " in front of the search word so I only see relevant results. MUCH better than F1.

              I use F1 help all the time and I haven't seen that in recent memory. What irks me no end is pressing F5 and having SQL Server (!) do that kind of thing. :wtf: I have decided not to have Visual Studio and SQL Server on the same system.
