    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.

    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.

          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.

          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.

                        Did you mean prepend a "C%23" to the beginning of the string? This is the only way I could get it to work, otherwise (with "C#") all that appeared in the Google Search Box was the 'C'. Not really useful. :) Or is there some devilish VB.Net trick that I am not aware of?

                              Cheers! It's just that I use VB so little that I'm never sure if it's me or the code. :-D
