.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / IDE / November 2006Dynamic Help does not show function help
Hi all, I have installed Visual Studio .NET 2005 with MSDN 2005 and the dynamic help does not work correctly. If I create a project and type a function i.e. printf, the function context hint text is displayed correctly, but when I hit f1, it brings up printf function in the index menu, but on the main page tab is has "Information Not Found". This happens for both online and local help. Any ideas? Cheers, Luke Hi Luke, Thank you posting! >...but when I hit f1, it brings up printf function in the index menu, >but on the main page tab is has "Information Not Found". >This happens for both online and local help. It seems a bit odd even the online help doesn't work. Can you use the Content catalog to access its subsidiary document? If you launch the MSDN 2005 independently, does it work well? By the way, would you please tell me how do you install the MSDN 2005, have you installed it from the VS2005's setup program? Thanks!

Hi Gary, thanks for replying :-) MSDN works correctly if I run it directly and yes, the catalogue works correctly, only using the f1 help fails. I installed MSDN via the VS2005 setup, and via the May 2006 MSDN Subscriptions dvd and both of them still have the same problem.

Hi Luke, Thank you posting! >I installed MSDN via the VS2005 setup, and via the May 2006 >MSDN Subscriptions dvd and both of them still have the >same problem. It appears your MSDN installation corrupted. I suggest you may need to perform a reinstallation of VS2005 and its MSDN. Before that, you need to remove those products completely from your machine. By the way, have you installed any pre-RTM VS2005 products in your machine? If you once installed those products, I suggest you use the following automatic removing tool to remove them at first: Pre-RTM Visual Studio 2005 Automatic Uninstall Tool http://blogs.msdn.com/danielfe/archive/2005/10/27/485863.aspx Thanks!

Hi Gary, I have tried using a clean install and the problem still exists. The dvd i used was from MSDN - "Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition", "English", "Disc 3070", "December 2005". I used the MSDN provided on this cd and installed by the Visual Studio installer. One weird thing i have found is that if for example i type a function "fprintf" and hit "F1", the "Information not found" error appears, but when I type "CreateWindowEx" and hit "F1", the "Information not found" error appears, but the CreateWindowEx help tab is opened aswell, but it is not the default tab. Any ideas? Cheers, Luke > Hi Luke, > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no > rights.

Does this problem occur in any other machine? Have you installed another MSDN version in your machine, such as the MSDN 2006 Jan version? By the way, I mentioned the pre-RTM VS2005 product's MSDN would matter, how about this on your machine? Thanks!

Hi Luke, Have you tried to lookup other functions, such as a .NET Framework FCL's function with the F1? If there is no problem with those FCL's function, the problem may be the the unmanaged API's function's reference hasn't been merged. If so, I suggest you can download our latest MSDN version(2006 May) and install to update your current one, it may fix this issue. Thanks!

Hi Gary, I uninstalled the old MSDN and installed MSDN from May 2006 but that still does not work and i have also tried this on multiple machines and i still see the same error. But I did created a Visual Basic project, and F1 works correctly on the functions in there. What else can i try? Cheers, Luke > Hi Luke, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no > rights. Hi Luke, If the problem only happens to these native C/C++ function, is it possible you haven't installed the corresponding documentation catalogs to your MSDN installation? I suggest you can try to select all of entries under the Visual C++ Documentation node in the MSDN setup program. Thanks!
