Help Page, Front Desk

Three distinct help systems are available to you in the Rational® software integration with Visual Studio.

Visual Studio Help
Displays Help about Visual Studio in the Visual Studio Help format. It contains no information about the Rational ClearCase® integration. You can get information about a native Visual Studio function by using the Visual Studio Help menu or the F1 key.
Help for the Rational ClearCase Client for Visual Studio .NET
The information in this Help system is designed to help you start the Rational ClearCase functions you need while working in the Visual Studio IDE. Because Rational ClearCase has its own native Help, the Rational ClearCase Client Help usually does not explain their functions in detail.
Native Rational ClearCase Help
After they are started in Visual Studio, many Rational ClearCase functions use Rational ClearCase windows, not Visual Studio controls. At that point, you can find detailed information about a function by clicking Help. Help for Rational ClearCase are displayed in a separate browser, and do not contain information about the integration with Visual Studio.
