I made this small function to start the MSDN library in the standard browser for a Typename.
Function Get-MSDN ($type = "default") {
(new-object -com shell.application).Open("http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/$type.aspx")
}
Inspired by a BlogItem on the Monad Team Blog, that adds a helplink to the get-member data.
Getting MSDN help urls for .NET BCL types and Members*tip* if you do not want to edit your default Types.MSHXML you can also use update typedata for this :
see :
Update-TypeData (Democracy to the types)there are also some examples of adding methods to Objects in that post.
but I liked this also as a short function,
Get-MSDN
will get you to Root of the Libraryget-MSDN system.object
will get you to The System.Object Pageget-msdn system.object.GetHashCode
will get you to The System.Object getHashCode Method Page.gr /\/\o\/\/
