How can I link to the documentation of functions, structures and classes on MSDN in a persistent manner?
Microsoft appears to break the links every few months for no good reason and I haven’t come across a method to refer to the topics in a way that – for example – points to the latest version of the documentation always. Is there such a way?
Edit: what I am looking for is a way to “permalink” a certain piece of documentation without having to worry about it disappearing. Preferably those names should be meaningful as well, instead of the usual combination of letters and digits followed by .asp or .aspx, such as: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms923723.aspx.
NB: I realize that, even though this relates to programming, it may not be suitable for SO, so feel free to suggest moving it to a more appropriate SE site.
Please give an example. The links don’t actually break that often.
For instance, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.httpwebrequest.aspx will never break, but http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.httpwebrequest(v=vs.110).aspx is specific to the version.
