Discovering and Consuming Shared Content
We have all been given programming tasks in which we just know someone must have already tackled the problem, and we’ve all faced tight deadlines. In these cases, it is often wise to hit the Internet to find out whether there is community content you can use to your advantage. At a minimum, you might find a partial solution that can speed your development effort and increase your understanding of how you might solve your particular problem.
Visual Studio provides a formal mechanism for publishing, finding, and consuming shared content. In the following sections, we look at discovering and leveraging this content. We also demonstrate how you can be an active participant in this community.
