Online MSDN Library - Switch View Feature

Published 22 October 09 12:55 | Simon Phillips

I was looking up some documentation on MSDN today I noticed a new button has appeared in the bottom right hand corner named Switch View. (Not sure how long it has been there!)

Clicking on the button give you the option of changing the style of MSDN from Classic to either Lightweight or ScriptFree

As you can see from the examples below changing to one of the other views are much easier on the eyes. They are also much faster in loading.

One of the other nice features is around code examples within the library. With the classic view you are sometimes have to trawl through lots of examples for all the different languages.

With the Lightweight view this changes to a tab view that you use to change the language.

The ScriptFree view shows the code as that of the classic view.

As the Lightweight view is in Beta you can send feedback back to MS by clicking on the Feedback button which is next to the Switch View
