Better way to view C# API documentation

[Guest]

I found the .Net/C# API documentation included with Visual Studio .Net 2003 and on MSDN. I don't like the layout. I would like to use something close to the javadocs that are available for Java. Where I can see a complete list of classes. With the included docs you have to dig around the documentation to find what you need. For instance, the System.Object is not on the top level of documentation as are all the other System.* classes. you have to go into the System documentation to find Object. I just want a simple way to quickly view the classes and available API for C#. Are there any other representations of the C# API

Thanks
Steve

Steve,

You could use the ILDASM disassembler tool to look at the classes and the
interfaces they expose in each assembly. You'd first have to know what
assembly an object is referenced in, though. (For instance, System.Object is
in mscorlib.dll, not System.dll.) But if you're just interested in seeing a
bird's eye view, ILDASM might be the way to go.

Best wishes,
JJ Feminella

You can add any of those obscure pages to the favourites.
