Where can I ask a question about C#, System.IO ?

Question
-
It sems I may not be viewing all of the forums. The list of forums I do see is limited in number and is a fairly eclectic collection of specific random topics.
I can't seem to find a group of subforums about C# (or tagged about C#), and I am looking for information about using System.IO.Monday, April 20, 2009 11:38 AM

Hello,
Thank you for the post. I would suggest posting your question in one of the MSDN > Forums Home > Visual C# located here:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/visualcsharp
and also I would suggest posting your question regarding System.IO in MSDN > Forums Home > .NET Development > .NET Base Class Library located here:http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/netfxbcl/threads
Hope this helps you.

For language questions such as syntax or compiler for a language, ask in language forums such as Visual Basic Language,Visual C# Language and Visual C++ Language. Language forums are not for everything can expressed in a the language. That's why other forums exist in the first place.For IDE questions like how to use Visual C++ or C#'s Wizards or how to change IDE settings, ask in IDE forums such as Visual C# IDE or Visual Basic IDE. Note Visual Studio shared features may have their own forums, like forums under the Visual Studio,Visual Studio Express and Visual Studio Team System categories.For questions regarding class libraries like the MFC, ATL, .net framework classes under the System or Microsoft namespaces, ask in library forums like forums.asp.net, msdn forums under the .Net development (System.IO belongs to the Base class library forum here), Windows Forms and Data Platform Development categories.Some products such as Visual C++, Visual J# and Visual Foxpro may not have their own Language/IDE/Librariy forums right now. They will have general forums for questions for Language/IDE/Library questions instead.There are other forums for other questions. For example if you get a security exception when trying to open a file using the System.IO.File class, you may want to post in the Common Language Runtime forum if you think it is related to .Net's security settings, or the Security for Applications in Microsoft Windows forum under the Software Development for Windows Client category if the cause is NTFS/Active Directory permission settings.Of cause this is not a complete list of msdn forums. So do a search to see where questions similair to yours get frequently answered (not just frequently posted).
