Question ONE:

I’m still pretty new to .net, but have used Visual Studio for a few recent projects. I’m now working a new project and I was wondering if visual studio had anything built in that would allow you to browse all of the details about a control, etc..

Is MSDN the best place to go for this?

For instance if I wanted to see of all the methods, properties, etc.. Is there anything inside VS?

Question TWO:

Can anyone recommend, books, resources, that deal specificially with Visual Studio? What each window does, etc.. I have used it enough to complete a few projects, but I haven’t seen much in the way of exactly what everything does and why.

Thanks for any suggestions.

    Use reflector (it’s free!) to get in-depth information about classes etc. Visual studio also has a built-in Object Browser.

    P.S. Reflector allows you to reverse engineer assemblies as well, allowing you to view the actual code of a class / method.

    P.P.S. Google is still a developer’s best friend. Need information on a control, search for it on the web. (Which will lead you to MSDN a lot of the times, but will also get you examples and loads of blog entries).
