VB only in help topics

I have just upgraded to VS 2005, and I am fed up with being bombarded
with Help for C#, C++ and goodness knows what else, despite setting
"Language" in the Search options to "Visual Basic". Is there any way to
only see VB syntax and examples? Or is this just another part of
Microsoft's attempt to convert us all to C#?

VS.Net help sucks compared to previous versions of VS, in my opinion. There are
some examples that ONLY show C# code--no VB example exists.
 
I concur. The Help system continues to degrade. The "See Also" almost never
points you to worthwhile things. Sometimes it's flat out wrong. It's like
robots are writing it. I hate it.

Not to mention the pointless and retared changes made to F1 behavior.
 
I figure it's only a matter of time before online help goes away and becomes a
subscription/purchase option, just like the great books that used to come with
Microsoft programming languages. Now you get some flimsy "manual" that doesn't
tell you anything and the books you used to get with the product cost nearly as
much as the software!
 
If it means that the Help won't be XML Code Comments-Straight-To-Docs then
I'd pay for it. I expect A LOT more from MS nowadays. Personally, I think
the whole management of Visual Studio and .NET need to be FIRED... starting
with Somasegar or whatever his name is.
