How or where can I find a list of all methods applicable to a specific control?

Question

Several of my forum  requests for help with a specific control have been answered by a knowledgable person with a code example of the use of some method of which I was unaware. I could move my development work more quickly, and save time and effort in forum posts, If I knew where to look for specific functions related to some particular control.

Please point me, if you can.

Hi BuhrmanP,

Thanks for your post.

I will suggest you to use the Library provide by this website: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/default.aspx. It provides all the information you want. Just fill the specific control or method on the left side of search box, it will show you all information about it (Some article in Library at firstly, other relate threads behind). The following link is a result for the textbox control: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/search/en-us?query=textbox&x=1&y=11.

You need to pay attention to the information about belonging. There are difference between  ASP.Net textbox , WPF textbox and the Windows Form textbox. Here is a link about windows application textbox information (the first link on the search webpage):http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.textbox.aspx

Hope this helps.
