I'm looking for good, searchable C# documentation (might as well throw in .NET while we are at it) that I can follow while developing. Similar examples include Qt Assistant or JDoc.

I tried looking for similar posts on SO already, but couldn't find any.

Please feel free to close this if it's a duplicate.

You can search the MSDN Library.

Honestly, msdn is the closest thing but i really deplore their lack of examples.

In the end, google has been my friend for years.

@Lily, I totally agree with your assertion about their lack of examples. Also, IMO, MSDN is just not that intuitive.

@Lily, lack of and preponderance of incorrect or just plain wrongway examples.

NDoc, GhostDoc and SandCastle are several good C# documentation tools.

If you are asking about a source for the C# language and the framework, MSDN is your friend.

Agree with Google/Bing being your friend. You could look into SearchDotNet but it's obviously not limited to C#. It does index popular sites and is quite useful.

Use Microsoft's MSDN Library. If you're using Firefox, add a bookmark with this location

http://search.msdn.microsoft.com/search/Default.aspx?query=%s&brand=msdn&locale=en-us&refinement=00&lang=en-us

and set a "keyword" for it (e.g. "msdn"). Then you can simply enter "msdn ConcurrentBag" into the address bar in order to search for "Concurrentbag", for instance.

Good tip. Same tip applies for Chrome too (you can edit search engines and set a keyword)

Select View > Object Browser in Visual Studio. It's great and easy to use.
