MSDN documentation for classes contain many inherited properties and methods. I think this is clutter and greatly reduces the usability.

For example, take look here, at the BitmapSource class. You can’t really see what’s special about this class. Everying is inherited, inherited, inherited.

It think that if something is inherited then it should be doucmented at the BASE class. So if a Mamnal BreastFeeds and a Dog Barks, I would go to the documenation of Mammal for breast feeding (anyhow, to read about it :), and for that of Dog for barking. Of course, if something is over-ridden, it should also appear at the derived class’s documentation such as in BitmapSource.Height.

So: Is there a way to view MSDN documentation hiding the inherited clutter? Some variation on the Url, a switch, offline help, a utility?

    OK, found the solution: Visual Studio’s Object Browser. SO much more understandable!
