When I worked with Delphi, they always included in the box a large wall
poster depicting every class (starting with TObject) and showing the
child classes from there. There was also a .pdf file showing the same.
I found two wall posters with the VS 2005 Pro package but nothing on the
scale of showing every class in VB and their descendants. Does such a
visual aid exist, either as a poster or .pdf file? While I can look
through the MSDN on specific classes, it sure makes it a lot easier to
view the hierarchy visually in a graph-like form.
By the way, as a side note; I worked with VB up until version 4. I then
switched to Delphi because it was so much more "complete" than VB was at
the time (classes, code reuse, more components, the ability to create
your own from scratch, etc). Having tried VB 2005 for the first time
recently, I'm happy to say I'm back to stay. VB has changed so much
with .NET and is easier to use than ever but much more powerful than
before. Kudos to Microsoft for their efforts!

I am afraid, I am not complete understanding what you want. Refereing to a
complete other development environment is decreasing the chance that you hit
with your message.
Are you sure that you are not meaning the objectbrowser as you find that in
the View?

The Object Browser is helpful in that it lists the classes and such but
not in an intuitive manner if you don't know what you're specifically
looking for. What I'm describing is a color coded wall chart or a .pdf
file that graphically lists/displays every class in VB 2005 from Object
on down. The browser is a great source of information about the classes
once you find what you're looking for but a chart that simply lists the
class hierarchy is what I'm interested in. From there I can go to the
browser to collect more info about the class, its
ascendants/descendants, methods, properties, etc.

Zach,
Reading your message again.
I have the idea that you need one wall of the pentagon to put Net with all
its classes and decendants on one view. That than only with the standard
classes and not the inherited ones that you have downloaded or made
yourself.
Using MSDN if you have found a class (every day more dificult) gives mostly
very much information about its parent and about its children.
