Hi folks, I am looking for the C# equivalent to Sun's Java API Documentation, (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/index.html) could someone post a link to it please as I can't seem to find it on Microsoft's MSDN website - Thank you.

Go to the MSDN home page. Click the Library link along the upper navigation bar. Select the .NET Development -> Class Library branch. Voila!

Having said that, you should have installed the MSDN library along with your IDE, so the entire Framework class library reference is available locally. The online documentation should not be necessary for that purpose, although it is useful for other things. Also, if you have a permanent connection your local MSDN library can access the on-line documentation as an adjunct to the local version.

Isn't the .Net Framework SDK Kit installed automatically when you install the Framework??

Isn't the .Net Framework SDK Kit installed automatically when you install the Framework??The .NET Framework SDK is not the MSDN library.

I never said that SDK Kit is MSDN, but isn't SDK provide the details of all the available .Net classes??

I have 2003 installed, so many classes mentioned in the site is not available to me, but 2005 should have all of them.

It appears that the .NET Framework 1.1 SDK does install documentation that includes the entire class library reference. The .NET Framework 2.0 SDK appears not to, or at least not as it's installed as part of VS 2005 anyway. I'm not sure if it might be different if you installed the SDK alone.
