Spam type behavior out of VS.Net
|
|
|
| Very annoying behavior from VS.Net when resizing the code window -- on some
random basis, spam from Microsoft appears, blowing into some webpage with
developer "news". Is this by design!?!?!?

| It's hard to tell whether you are talking about the "Online Resources" tab
of the Start Page (which is completely optional and can be readily turned
off) or the "external help" (which is also an option; it helps ensure that
your online help includes the latest information, corrections and updates)
or the default home page for IE when IE gets launched from within VS .NET
(which is yet another option; it defaults to the MSDN home page, which
naturally contains developer news).
These would not open from resizing of the code window, so you may have
configured your IDE so that they are open all the time but hidden behind the
code window. When you resize, they get exposed.
In short, all of this behavior is configurable and customizable by you. Out
of the box, VS .NET does not push developer news when the code window is
resized, so you have done something to configure it that way.

| Thanks for your answer Ronny. Since I set up VS.Net, I do not recall making
any IDE configuration changes, so I'm quite a bit puzzled what is triggering
this. It happens whenever I resize either the left or the right side of the
code window -- and not on any sort of predictable basis. Its not the Online
Resources page.Would the "external help" you refer to be otherwise known as
"Dynamic Help"?
