TechNet Offline?
Have you ever wondered how to take such a nice library offline? One of the trainees here wondered how to read the TechNet articles offline. I decided to google, bing and yahoo on this before I develop one, myself for you see, I’m always way too lazy!
I came across this handy little tool called Package This available on Codeplex and decided to try it out before I recommend this to my new hires. This one is a simple GUI based on C# to create help files out of TechNet and MSDN content.
Remember, this requires .hxs SDK (MS Help 2.0) which is a part of MS Visual Studio 2005 SDK or .chm SDK (HTML help) which is available for download seperately. I prefer you going with HTML Help unless you want to bug-pack your PC with Visual Studio SDK (performance and space wise). Comment if you require any expert assistance on using this tool!
Though this is not related to Exchange, thought of popularizing this awesome tool to help you download the contents from TechNet/MSDN

Can this be uploaded to iphone as well… I know I am going nuts but checking if there is a possibility. Atleast my travel time will be productive.

Sorry mate! Haven’t really researched about iPhone as I’m a symbian freak! The exported files are basically Microsoft help file format. If you have a gadget or something that helps you to read it, well and good!
Else, spend some peaceful time with your iPhone, watching a movie or playing a game!!!
Post your research results here too, so that it is useful for the ‘Guru’ as well!!
