java api is better than .net api(.net framework class library)

[Fei Li]

Java api is html doc. 3 panels, one for namespace, one for class and one for
class detail/methord detail.

normally people only remember the class name or guess the class name could
be. In java api you can find it quickly. How can I do this in .net api? I do
not know which namespace it is.

I think under .net framework->reference->class library->

should have a class alphabetic list

The easiest way I find is to have the local MSDN open at the index
rather than the contents. Then you can just type the name of the type
(or method, or namespace) and you'll find the appropriate thing. It's a
shame you can't restrict it to *just* types/methods/properties etc
rather than other general topics, but most of the time it's fine.
