Hello

I was told by a programmer, that the MS Visual Studio.NET comes with
additional 1.6 GB of a Help-System, which is included from the MSDN Library.

Is it possible, to get only this enhanced help system - without the whole
VS.NET ?

Where do one could get this from? (Of course I don't wanna buy the whole VS
to get just this documentation)

Thanks for giving me a hint.

regards

Interesting question. Sure you can download the VSHIK package, but that
help system *only* works in Visual Studio. It is an industry-strength help
system designed to make exploring 10s of thousands of help topics
managable. It also incorporated Intelisense to provide code completion and
other features and uses Dynamic help to provide help topic recommendations
while you code. I'm not sure why you would want to use a help system
optimized for Visual Studio without Visual Studio.

Hope that helps.
