If I want to see the full documentation for a class or method in Visual Studio, I have to press F1. This opens an external browser window where I can look it up.
Now, I'd like to see the documentation within the IDE, in an integrated window, without having to mess around with a separate browser window. Additionally I'd like the documentation window to update as soon as I switch the cursor to another method/class/etc. This feature is fairly common in the Java IDEs.
Is there any way to achieve this behavior in Visual Studio?

You can install Help Viewer. See also Video.
If help viewer is already installed follow the instructions here to enable it:
When you install Visual Studio, you get the Help Viewer. To start reading help topics in the Help Viewer rather than on the MSDN download site, go to the Help menu in Visual Studio, select Set Help Preference, and then select Launch in Help Viewer. The off-line help topics for a given version of Visual Studio are available only after the final release of that version.
Beware, downloading help content for offline viewing can take a large amount of disk space!
