Windows CE documentation fights back
Ian Griffiths points to a cunning ruse for excluding that annoying Windows CE documentation from MSDN.
Unfortunately, Ian missed the bit at the top where Saurabh says "Visual C++ developer." Saurabh's fix almost works for the general case... but it also excludes some non-WinCE stuff. In particular, in current versions of MSDN, you lose the C# language reference. And that's just useful enough to make this fix impractical.
Grr.
I don't understand why the MSDN folks don't just make NOT a unary operator. It's crazy.

Can you give me a example of C# document that has been excluded?

Using the April 2004 MSDN Library, look under .NET Development / Visual Studio .NET / Product Documentation / Visual Basic and Visual C# / Reference. In the unfiltered view, the second topic is Visual C# Language, which includes things like the language spec, compiler options, etc. In the filtered view, that topic is missing.
Hope this helps.
