MSDN won't always give you what you need but in my experience it will more often than not. A lot of people use the search facility and think the sit eis rubbish because they can't find what they need. A lot of the time their key words are the problem, which may or not be the case for you. What I always say, though, is that if you know what class you're using then read about that class first and at least half the time you'll get your answer without having to search at all. It's worked for me since I was a rank beginner in .NET.
