Copy tooltip content in Visual Studio?

Question

When editing code in Visual Studio, it sometimes emphasizes what I wrote, and when I hover over it, display a tooltip saying something like blah blah is obselete, please use this instead. See [some MSDN link] blah blah is obselete, please use this instead. See [some MSDN link] . However, when I try to move the mouse pointer over the tooltip so that I can click on the link or copy it to the clipboard, the tooltip will disappear because it only appears when I took over the code violation and not over the tip.

Does anyone know a way to get the contents of a tooltip? And if not ... I'm not a user interface developer, but shouldn't it be obvious to those who develop such a function that people need a way to get a link other than entering it into the browser?

Answer 1

Try moving to the method definition by opening it as metadata and you will see the obselete attribute above the method with a text description
