Take a look at the documentation<\/a> on how this works.<\/p>\n All documentation is now available at Microsoft docs<\/a>. In addition, there is new API documentation as part of .NET API Browser<\/a>.<\/p>\n This update would not have been possible if it wasn\u2019t for the community support and participation.
