From InfoWorld: Sometimes, even the best coders get stuck and need a little advice. Enter Bing Developer Assistant, designed to help Visual Studio developers take advantage of Microsoft's search engine to find tips on how to untangle thorny programming problems.
For example, when developers get a compilation error, they can right click on the error and select Bing contextual search from the menu. The search takes into account things such as the error message, project and data types and programming language to try to come up with the most relevant results. If the result isn't helpful, further search refinements can be made.
Up to now, developers had to copy and paste the error message into a search engine and then modify the query on their own in order to take context into account. That's much more time consuming and distracting, Microsoft said in a blog post.
