MSDN Links in Visual Studio

I'm looking for a plugin or a way to just go from any namespace, type, method, property, etc. in my .Net code to an MSDN page that covers it through a context menu item or a mechanism that looks like a hyperlink. Does anyone know anything that will do this?

The Go to Definition option, when you right-click, almost covers it, but it doesn’t work well - the namespace is not supported, and you often find yourself on an ugly metadata page. I'm still on vs2005, so if vs2008 is better, I would like to know about it.

Have you tried F1. This will automatically open the help for the corresponding method or object. Not sure if this works for namespaces.

Besides using F1 (which doesn't always work), I did not find an add-in for VS to do this, I have another quick way.

I am using Launchy (from launchy.net) and setting up the Weby plug-in to quickly perform an MSDN search. Therefore, if I search for String.Format, my keyboard sequence (from VS or elsewhere) will be as follows:

alt space msdn String.Format

which leads me to search for MSDN, where usually the first list is what I'm looking for. This is not an ideal solution, but with a fast Internet connection and only a keyboard, it suits me well.
