MSDN ... ?

I only ever enter MSDN's portals via Google searches. Trying to navigate around it directly is a recipe for madness.

Where I work, they have a unique tool which is quite useful, it is called GOOGLE...
Is this tool free? Where can I download it? ;P

I remember the days MSDN was all packed in Visual Studio Disk 2
If I remember correctly I got a printed version at home :-D (don't remember exactly the scope of it. I think it's mostly around VB6...)

Not only tool free, but TOLL FREE (when you connect your 56K Modem...)

I have to program some excel stuff using vba and MSXML. The reference to MSXML is not included in the standard Excel help, so let's go to msdn. Good lord. :wtf: Back in the time when I was still a programmer, so 5 years back from now, MSDN was ... complicated, but the old windows help file (compiled html) version was still very handy. But today ... What's this monstrosity ? This is the most unhelpful thing I have ever seen. Are you guys ( I mean the professionals) really using this ?

One nice thing about the MSDN Library search is that it includes a select few external sites recognized for great content, including CodeProject.

I mostly do the same... the MSDN searches seem to be very unhelpful most of the time.

I use it all the time as well... but I will say that searching for what you're looking for isn't easy.

Yes I am using this every day. But you are right, just due to its monstrous size, it is sometimes difficult to find things. So when i've finally found what I was looking for, I am going the hierarchy up to the more general topic an bookmark it. Like this: DOM Reference Cheers
That's a good idea... I never bookmark anything but if I had a dime for every time I've searched for the same thing well.... I'd be rather wealthy by now. :)
