Choosing Visual Studio 2005 DirectX Help Source

Hi all, I have a little troubles setting up my VS 2005 help. I installed DirectX SDK April 2006 and every time I search for something by pressing F1, it brings up DirectX Managed help. Is there a way to set it to use non-managed DirectX help files instead As managed dx help is kind of a useless to me...

Thanks in advance.

    Hello Ondy,

    The DirectX content is from a different team from Visual Studio. I've just contacted someone from that team who should hopefully come back with a response shortly.

    Thanks -

    Here's the reply from the DirectX Documentation team:

    This is a known bug that exists in the April 2006 documentation. We are currently trying to fix this issue.

    Thank you for the answer. I had the same problem with VS 2003 .NET while using Direct X october 2005. It seems it's not just April 2006 issue but is present since the implementation of Managed Direct X help files...
