Edit: Looks like this feature has been available for a while. Wish I had noticed it before.... 

Working on a WPF Project this weekend, I discovered an awesome feature in Help in VS 2008. On members listings for individual components, you can filter out inherited and protected members, which means you easily see only the members that apply to a particular class. Very, very useful when dealing with WPF components, since it takes a list down from hundreds of members, to just the few that are applicable.

For example, it takes the Border class from this:

To this:

(It's a little hard to read the text, but it went from about a hundred members down to 10. You can see by the same of the thumb on the scroll bar)

Now if only intellisense could add filtering levels like that :)

At any rate, I'm digging it. Saved me a lot of time already. Thanks to the team who put that feature into place!!!
