New help system in VS2005.5/5/2006 3:03:23 AM

0/0

Does anyone else hate it?

Why is it that every 2 or 3 versions of their development environment that MS has to change the help system?  Just about the time it starts working right, they change it and reduce it to half of what it previously was while they spend 2 years getting it up to speed again.

When going from VC4 (I think) to VC 5, the help system changed and things didn't work right for 2 or years (until VC6), are we going to go through that pain again?

*sigh*

The problems I'm having are:

  1. The help system constantly tries to go online, even when the options are set so it should not.
  2. Searches go online when I don't want them to.  I expected when I told the darn thing to look locally first it would do as I asked.  I don't need to search all the community sites first. *sound of a shotgun loading*
  3. The tooltip help that used to be available in dev studio option dialogs isn't there consistently any longer. Sometimes the tips are there, but not 100%
  4. Sorry, had to vent and to see if anyone else is frustrated with it...

    Regards,

    Jim
