SUMMARY
The Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) is categorized by using keywords. This article lists the category and subcategory keywords specific to articles in the Languages collection, which includes the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
Languages KBSubcategory Major and Minor Keywords
Each KB article in the Languages collection may contain one or more product- specific subcategory keywords (called KBSubcategory keywords) that places the article in an appropriate category. Some of the KBSubcategory keywords 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 subcategory keyword, but it may have more.
Here are the topics and the corresponding KBSubcategory keywords. The minor topics are in the indented list under each major topic.

Product-Specific Keywords
You can use the KBSubcategory keywords to organize Languages articles or to search for specific groups of Languages articles. For information about
KBSubcategory keywords for other Microsoft developer products, please query
the Microsoft Knowledge Base using these keywords: dskbguide and kbkeyword
KB-Wide Keywords
Each article in the Languages collection also contains at least one generic, KB-wide category keyword (called a KBCategory keyword). The
KBCategory keywords are standard throughout the Microsoft Knowledge Base, appearing in all KB articles, regardless of product. You can use the KBCategory keywords to organize all KB articles or to search for articles across several Microsoft products. For more information about these KBCategory keywords, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: ARTICLE-ID: Q94671 TITLE : Categories and Keywords for All Knowledge Base Articles Additional reference words: kbinf 1.00 1.00a 1.50 2.00 2.10 6.00 6.10 KBCategory: kbref kbkeyword KBSubcategory: VCGenIss
