visual studio .net documentation:

Is there some secret to getting Dynamic Help working fully?

I have installed MSDN April 2003 and VS.NET 2003.

When I begin editing an aspx file containing VB.NET code, Dynamic Help
will work on some keywords, but it doesn't seem to show the proper
topics. For instance, if I move the cursor over the word Sub in my
code, I see 1 item for "Sub" show up in Dynamic Help, but it is only
for the HTML <Sub> tag. I expect to see at least VB topics
referencing the Sub keyword.

Mr. Land

In this case what you could do is apply a filter that will limit your results to only Visual Studio topics
This will filter out the HTML docs

Open up the Library and use the drop down filter box to select which types of topics you want to see in your results
This will apply to Search, TOC and the Keyword index also

Hope this helps

I cannot repro the scenario you describe. The code editor should recognize
what "language" you are using, whether HTML or Visual Basic or whatever, and
communicate that fact to the Dynamic Help window so that topics pertaining
to the correct language are displayed for you. That's what happens for me
when I make a Visual BasicWeb app in Visual Studio 2003 and edit the
WebForm1.aspx.vb file.
