F1 Help in VS 2005

[Greg Burns]

This has been bugging me for awhile and I've finally had enough and thought
I would ask for help...

How comes in VS 2005, if you select any part of the below line (just an
example that I know does it) and press F1, I get context help on the Dim
keyword, not SqlParameter.

Dim p As New SqlClient.SqlParameter

In VS.NET 2003, pressing F1 with any or all of that line selected gives me
SqlParameter Members help (as expected)

Strangely, simple data types seem to work as expected:

Dim s As String

VS 2005, selecting String does work correctly (givens me help on String Data
Type), but selecting the whole line give me help only on Dim. VS 2003,
selecting whole line gives me help on String.
