Browsing the Visual Basic and .NET Documentation

The .NET Framework Base Class Library is very large, and it’s not likely that you’ll be able to remember all the objects you can use in your applications (or the ones the .NET Framework relies on). Instead of memorizing the library, you just need to know where and how to search for information. You have different tools available to browse the .NET Framework and its documentation—and for Visual Basic, too. The goal of this chapter is to provide information on the primary tools you need for developing Visual Basic applications, and getting help with the language and its tools is absolutely one of the primary necessities.
