Are you seeing this ? (bug report i filed today with MS VS dev site)
Quote: Win 10/64 Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.11.3
Windows Forms App (.Net Framework)
.NET 5.0 C# 4.8
The outline view is now replaced by a flat text-file that forces you to read through code examples in different languages before finding an example in the language you are working in. Example of what you see now when you click F1 with "UserControl" selected
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.usercontrol?view=net-5.0
The explanatory text is often of poor quality technically; the code examples often flawed, or irrelevant. While VS documentation has been mediocre/confusing/poorly-written/inconsistent since the beginning (and MSDN support utterly useless), at least you could get to a quick outlined summary of essential object attributes ... until now.
I consider this such a serious flaw, that I would now never recommend Visual Studio.

Looks normal to me. The code sample is all C# which accords with my default selection, and I can use the copy widget to get the complete sample. Also I can switch to VB, F# or C++ by using the dropdown at the top of the page.

Thanks, Richard,
Looking at that page with Chrome, no ad-blocker, the language filtering selection drop-down appears, but contains no drop-down items.
Examples shown in C/C++, VB, C#. Some examples targeted to other flavors of C# WinForms than Windows Forms App (.Net Framework).
The key issue for me is not being able to quickly go to a specific object's Property, Method, Event, etc. definition, and get the "gist" of it: that's what most of my doc look-up is about.
Hypothesis: a pattern has emerged: you take on the role of "defender" of criticism of MS docs, MSDN. That may mean nothing, or something; i can live with that

Same as me, so no idea why your view is different. I just tried again with the link in your original message and it is still all correct.

Hi,
Are you able to access the old outline view by any other means ?
Did you launch the browser by selecting "UserControl" and F! in a C# 5 enabled project design-time Form view like mine ?
Hypothesis: something to do with Community edition VS ? I used to use Enterprise.
thanks, Bill

Works in Edge; list of fields, methods, and hyperlinks on the right to jump to those sections. Found the language-drop down.
I too like MSDN documentation - remember that it is huge, spanning multiple products, and still it is consistent. DevExpres uses a similar template and then puts a one-line-placeholder text to "fill" the page.

Thanks to Eddy Vluggen, who said that link appears in old outline form in Edge: he's right.
It appears because Edge can't load the C#5.0 version:Quote: The requested page is not available for .NET 5. You have been redirected to the newest product version this page is available for.

Yup, also different URL; "view=netframework-4.8&viewFallbackFrom=net-5.0"
I hadn't noticed

After over a year of 'retirement', I started looking for something to occupy my time - and I find that the newest, greatest job search sites don't seem to pay any attention to the resume I upload. I have received alerts for CDL Truck drivers, Product design engineers, Molecular Biologist (??) and others that do not seem to be relatable to the contents of my resume at all.
Anybody have any recommendations for sites that at least try to be accurate?

I've yet to find any recruiter that has even a clue about the subject(s) he is recruiting for. Or geography for that matter.
I am not commuting 250 miles each way every day, so stop offering me jobs on the other side of the UK ...

Well, my 'retirement' was not of my choosing - after over 3 weeks in hospital, I now am told I cannot drive, and have some short term memory loss, balance issues, tremors in my left hand, etc.
But I am bored to tears with youtube, and have started trying to catch up with 'new' language technologies and frameworks.
My SO is driving me crazy, and vice versa

Right there with you! I am suffering from the same conditions exactly! for a while they thought I was getting Parkinson's but testing ruled that out. Neurologists came to the conclusion that it was side effect from the anti-seizure drug they have me on. No more seizures, thank God, and since all of mine happened at night, I can now drive. But I have the added aggravation of my boss CONSTANTLY on my A** saying, "Write things down!".
Which I try to do, but he talks a 400 words a minute and I can't get him to understand that I can't write that fast.
