Getting VB.net Controls Usage Examples #37169

Open vsfeedback opened 5 years ago

vsfeedback commented 5 years ago

It's often frustrating when trying to get properties and methods of controls, or usage examples for using a control, from the online documentation - it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Why can't Microsoft provide complete info on a particular control that is within the Visual Studio toolbox by first a) right-clicking on the control in the control toolbox, then b) show a menu list with Properties, Methods, Constants, Usage examples, etc? This would make the process of learning and using about the particular control so much more efficient. And I would add that the the actual properties and examples pages should show not just for the C# language but for VB.Net as well, after all I prefer VB. Please seriously consider this feature addition. Thank you.

F1 appears to work properly inside the Toolbox pane in Visual Studio. For example, if I select ComboBox in the Toolbox and press F1, I'm taken to ComboBox Class.
