Using F1 Help
What is the fastest way to get help on what you are working on in Visual Studio?
The quickest approach is usually to press the F1 key. Visual Studio has been designed to
offer “context-sensitive help” related to the keyword or task that you are working with.
Although F1 Help may not always display the exact information that you want, it usually
puts you in the part of the Help documentation that will get you started. So when you
need help, think of using the F1 key.
