The Visual Studio Combined Help Collection 

  • Article

The documentation available from the Microsoft Visual Studio help system is organized into Help collections. The Visual Studio 2005 Combined Help Collection is currently your default collection. This collection includes all of the original product documentation, plus any additional help designed to be integrated with Visual Studio, such as help collections for Visual Studio updates and add-ons.

If no other Help topics than this one appear in your Help system, either you have not yet installed any documentation, or you have used the Combined Help Collection Manager to exclude the installed help collection.

To install the documentation for your version of Visual Studio, open Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel and run the setup for the program. For further information, see How to: Install Help for Visual Studio.

To determine if additional Help collections are available for inclusion in the Visual Studio 2005 Combined Help Collection, see Visual Studio 2005 Combined Help Collection Manager.
