Help Update In Progress
-
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.

Well, I found the web site. http://danrigby.com/[^] Just modify the string to prepend a "C#" to the beginning of the string.

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.
-
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
I always break something when I take a screwdriver to the keyboard!

Thank you! I just assigned that to F1. Lovely...

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?

One of the very few situations where I wouldn't mind seeing this:

Are you sure you want to open help? It could take a while.

You are 100% correct. I forgot about that. Sorry.
strUrl = "www.google.com/search?q=" + "C%23 " + selection.Text

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