Languages Major and Minor KBKeywords

Each KB article in the Languages collection may contain one or more product- specific keywords (called KBKeywords) that places the article in an appropriate category. Some of the KBKeywords are composed of the concatenation of a major topic keyword and a minor topic keyword. For example, you can find all the MFC ODBC database issue articles by using MfcDatabase as the keyword when you query the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

In some cases, you can use the asterisk (*) wildcard to find articles that fall into the general subcategory. For example, to find all the articles that apply to MFC issues, query on Mfc*. An article usually has only one KBKeyword, but it may have more.

Here are the topics and the corresponding KBKeywords. The minor topics are in the indented list under each major topic.
