Where's the API specification?

[JavaSteve]

I'm a Java developer and have just been given a .Net project to take over.
I'm looking around for some sort of API specification like Javadocs, but have
had no luck. Does this sort of thing exist, or am I dreaming?

If you use/installed VS.NET2002/2003, its help comes with full .NET SDK
document.
If you do not use VS.NET, you at least have .NET SDK installed, which comes
with complete document, including document reference to all ,NET classes.
(unless you have choosen not to install document (I am not sure if you could
do that or not).

The official documentation is called the MSDN Library which is extensive and
accessible via msdn.microsoft.com. Much of it is also distributed with
various SDKs.

We can find explicit documentation using for example...

// Example ASP.NET [1.0 | 1.1]
google: page life cycle site:msdn.microsoft.com

// Example ASP.NET 2.0
google: page life cycle site:msdn2.microsoft.com

// C# Programmer's Reference
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...sReference.asp

google: MSDN .NET Framework Class Browser

Finally, be advised, Steve Ballmer intends to "kill Google" ;-)
