.NET documentation used to be top quality, but not anymore.
Quality of MSDN articles has declined a lot, going from full, explicit documentation with examples, to just placeholders in many cases.
PS: criticism of MS or .NET in HN even in reasonable terms is guaranteed -6 karma. But I have karma to spend.
- cjsuk 9y agoYou get downvoted to hell if you post something negative about MSFT after around 17:00 UTC. It’s open season between 09:00-17:00 UTC because they’re all in bed or commuting. Incidentally I agree with you although MSDN has been difficult to find the content in for a few years as the auto generated stuff takes precedence.
- partycoder 9y agoI would have like 100 additional karma or more if it wasn't for MS related downvotes. update: Downvoting started already.
- apk-d 9y agoThis keeps annoying me whenever I go looking for .NET classes reference. The documentation at docs.microsoft.com is severely lacking compared to msdn.microsoft.com. It lacks the detailed samples and insights usually present in the "Remarks" section on MSDN. The information it does have I can usually discover using IntelliSense and by navigating to the assembly metadata.
- yread 9y agoI only downvoted you because you complain of downvoting. That's boring. To stay on topic I find some of the new docs pretty nice where they have a more coherent story for example https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/querying/related-data https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/querying/related-da...
