Huseyin Tufekcilerli: Thanks for the tip. I didn't know about the String.Concat(string, string, string) and String.Concat(string, string, string) overloads.

Always something new to learn :)

If anyone else has a interesting and helpful class in the .NET framework that I didn't cover, feel free speak up.

Yeah right a readable and a bit commented source code is better then any documentation. For .NET Framework Library source code I have downloaded it using .NET Mass Downloader on both my home and work PCs. I am using them all the time for debugging and learning purposes. If the source code is not available, Reflector comes to rescue of course.

I am currently F11ing the solution you have posted and I thought that you could also mention String.Concat for concatenating 3 to 5 strings.

Huseyin Tufekcilerli: I typically find the source code as the best documentation, even if it is decompiled in Reflector. I have the source code debugging turned on in my VS2008, but I love the hyperlinking capability of Reflector.

When in doubt, I Google for a class and pick the MSDN link.

However, this practice is probably obscure and not the normal case. I can definitely feel your pain with F1 in Visual Studio. I never use that. It's not nearly as fast as Google.

What I did at FxLibrarian is different then Reflector. I am just trying to show the MSDN documentation for .NET Framework Library a bit more accessible way. Like a light-weight version of "Microsoft Document Explorer" of Visual Studio.

Huseyin Tufekcilerli: I didn't have any audio/video recording this time. I tried to put in comments in the solution file of some of the questions I asked and some of the things I mentioned.

FxLibrarian -- interesting. Have you checked out Lutz Roeder's Reflector? It is by far my favorite .NET Framework browsing utility.

.NET Framework Class Library is really huge and there are lots of hidden gems in it. Is there any audio/video recording of your session available? That would be great.

Shameless plug: Recently I have developed a simple app to make it easy to browser .NET Framework Library documentation. You can read about it here: FxLibrarian
