Documentation should be based on Objects, Properties, Methods & E

C

Microsoft's documentation has sunk into a morass of "tuchy-feely" pablum for
infants. Those of us who want to find information, rather than a narrative
on the developer's daughter's day in school, are just out of luck.

"Technical articles" by "Dr Whatever", indeed.

Give us DEFINITIONS of Object models, the Objects, and their Methods,
Properties & Events.

THEN give us examples and "How To's".

Some of us still are coders, you know. "Query panes" are the biggest pain.
Tell us the SQL, dammit.

Try looking up "TRANSFORM" or "PIVOT", for example. Good luck !

I agree with you and we have complained. I have found though that it helps
to add the word "object" to the search. For example, if you are looking for
information on textboxes, instead of searching for textbox, search for
textbox object.
