C# is now a better language than Java

I hate the msdn documentation for C#

Not sure if this is addresses your complaint, but MSDN's low-bandwidth formatted site makes it easier to work with.

Example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlreader...

Here's a link to a bookmarklet you can use to turn loband on: http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2008/08/30/msdn-low...

I think another thing I really hate about C# documentation is that it's merged with docs for other languages like VB.NET. It's a small thing but when I need to do something, I really don't want to be wasting time constantly filtering through stuff I don't need.

There is a language filter in order to display only language we want to see (in the standard version, not the low bandwidth one).

Thanks Rexxar - you've made my life easier. For some reason I've never noticed it before. Maybe it's because I use Firefox and the filter button looks really small on it.

In hindsight, hate was a bit strong. thanks for the bookmarklet. I too prefer the low-band version of the msdn. But I prefer java docs layout. It's a lot easier to use and navigate. With namespaces at the top, classes just below and method/class details as the main view. I think it's very elegant.
