Did you know… you can create your own How do I pages
In Whidbey, we have a feature called How Do I. I’ve explained it on this other post. And there are some channel 9 videos of Scott, the original Program Manager of the feature, explaining How Do I.
It’s extremely easy to create your own.
Step 1
Create an xml file with the following content. Italized items are for you to customize.
<VSHelp xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2004/08/Help/VSHelp">
<Title _locID="VSTipsAndTricks">VS Tips and Tricks</Title>
<Location>
<Url>*https://blogs.msdn.com/saraford/archive/category/9843.aspx*\</Url>
</Location>
</VSHelp>
Step 2
Save the xml file to
<My Documents>\Visual Studio 2005\VS Help Data\8.0\Pages
(note: you may have to create the VS Help Data directory structure).
Happy Visual Studio’ing!
