VS.NET MSDN is much better then the one that came with VS 6
Besides, MSDN for .NET has almost everything from the MSDN for VS 6.
I think the MSDN.NET could have more examples, but I like it. Most of the useful information on a subject is in the Overview section. For instance if you are looking up a class and it goes to one of the members then navigate to the overview of the class and that usually has better info or code.
I guess I am stupid or something, but I don't know what ****E is.
If I knew, I would probably vote.
Anyway, I love the help for .Net. It seems I find things a lot faster now than I did with VB6. I like looking at the Class's members, which helps me find the method or property I am looking for faster. Then I can click it and get even more info about it. It is great. Plus, it is integrated into the IDE, which I really like. I can sit there and look up things without opening a new window, or leaving the IDE to find help. I can switch the tabs from my code to the help file, back to code again much faster.
I agree with Edneeis. The information in the overview is usually emough - but a few examples would have made it much more helpful...
