.NET MSDN documentation with no examples

Many of .NET class members and properties in MSDN have no examples. I just
see prototype decleration. I find this pretty lacking in MSDN. Are there
good resources out there which explain more on how to use some of the .NET
functions? I am looking for a reference + a quick example.

I checked vol 1 & 2 today. It's not what I wanted. There are too many
classes, methods.. missing. The examples you find are a single one for the
whole class. I was surprised that the book was slim.

If MSDN is as comprehensive a reference as it gets, I guess that's it. I
wish they would put an example for every method.

Or you can google it ;-)

In most cases you'll find someone who's implemented an example and posted it
on the web somewhere.
