I don't think they're current at all.

Hi,

You can get .Net docs in text format from
http://www.nonvisualdevelopment.org. I'm not sure if they are current as of
VS2008 or not.

OK, the "Help on Help" explains the keyboard shortcuts and how to customise
them (Tools > Options > Keyboard).

Now, with the shortcuts working properly -- conflicts resolved -- things go
a bit smoother, but it will still be nice to have a simple CHM old style
reference.

Other bright ideas of how to make things roll smoother are most welcome.

Hi List,

Don't know about you guys, but I don't find the Microsoft .Net Framework
documentation browser, or the Microsoft Document Explorer that ships with
Visual Studio 2008 very accessible via JAWS. Yes, one can get at the
information, but it's not a smooth and simple  process like with the older
style CHM files that works great with JAWS.

Does anyone know if all of that documentation, or at least just the .Net
Class Library reference is available in the old style CHM format? I've
searched a bit but could not get a conclusive, authoritive download as of
yet.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the current means by which I manage to
navigate it is not eficient at all. Much tabbing, moving around with the
JAWS cursor and so on...


If anyone is using the default help system any tips would be most welcome!

Regards
