If you ever need to get directly to the documentation for a specific type in MSDN (which Bing routinely fails to give me) here is a search provider for Chrome that will do the trick:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/%s.aspx
You can obviously also do something like:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/%s(loband).aspx
In case you need a refresher, here is how you add it:
- Click the wrench (top right).
- Options
- Basics (top)
- Manage (alongside “Default Search”)
- Add
- Give it a name and keyword (the keyword is important).
- Paste in my URL.
To use it go to your address bar and type the keyword, tab and then the full type name. So for example (my keyword was msdnd):
msdnd : [TAB] : system.xml.serialization.xmlelementattribute : [RETURN]
