connection to MSDN library directly.

How can I use the MSDN library to get a help within the code of the C# project. (e.g., using F1 key).

when I am using F1 key over a word like bool I get the message :

Information not found instead of getting the discription of bool keyword

I am installing the MSDN libraray 2005 , but I can't get a connection to it from the project code directly.

I must open it in a separate window and search it.

    Ayooya -

    Did you install MSDN Library 2005 when you installed the VS2005   What version are you using (C# Express, etc.)  

    I have my settings set to online first, then local and hitting F1 on bool pulls up the C# programmers reference for the keyword bool.

    Thanks,

    Aya:

    In the Developer Documentation and Help System Forum there are MSDN Help experts who can help you troubleshoot this problem.

    The first thing to check is whether you installed the MSDN help that came with VS2005, or the Ocr 2005 MSDN Quarterly. The Oct MSDN doesn't work with VS2005; it is still based on the VS2003 Help system.

    Thank you for your reply.

    yes I am installing MSDN Library 2005 when I install the VS2005.

    I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 professional edition .

    I set my settings to online first, then local , I am also testing the option local first, then online. Both of them resulting : Information not found when hitting F1.

    So, what also can I do

     Thanks.
