Pardon my ignorance.

Currently, when you have the cursor within a function within the IDE and press "F1", help opens up with the MSDN reference for that function. It would be nice in the case of custom functions, when you hit F1, it takes you to that function. Or, if the function is part of a referenced library, take you to the point in the code where the library is referenced, or display a message box, such as "Function xyz is part of the referenced ABC.DLL"

Is this an idea? Or else is it possible to add a help function for private subroutines and functions?

My LIMITED experience with Visual Studio is with mostly with Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic 2008.

There is a Go To Definition. Not sure what the default shortcut is.

Yes but there is a keyboard shortcut. F something I believe. Can't check right now as they just upgraded my PC to Vista at work and it wiped VS. :mad:
