How the Reference Was Generated

Part II was generated using .NET’s reflection API. Using reflection, we drilled down into selected classes, structures, enumerations, delegates, and interfaces from the Framework Class Library, and extracted detailed information on each type and its members. Next, we structured this information as DocBook XML, which we used to generate the printed pages. We also used in-house tools to generate the online Microsoft Help 2.0 version that accompanies this book.
