Beta2 Documentation

Hi all,
I can't seem to find the .doc files (e.g. Unmanaged Metadata, Hosting I/Fs,
Profiling, etc) in the BETA2 distribution.  I did notice that the unmanaged API's
are "somewhat" documented in the MSDN online documentation, but not complete. It would be nice to have the full blown word docs for the unmanaged API's as they are more complete.

Anyway I can get them   Are they online someplace

Beta2 Documentation

    Hi Dave, we have added documenation for over 1200 unmanaged api's for the common language runtime and fusion.  Except for the Hosting Interfaces, we have minimal content for these but we will continue to add more content post v2.0 release.  The Hosting Interfaces are well documented and you can find them at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/ms164317(en-us,vs.80).aspx .  We just missed getting the rest of the api's posted for beta 2 but if we get these online before v2.0 comes out I will add a post.    MattC  CLR Documenation manager

    For the debugging & profiling API stuff, look at the IDL files in the
    include directory of the SDK. All of the function-level information that
    used to be in the Word docs is in comments in the IDL.
    
    We are still working on how to distribute the conceptual information. The
    debugging conceptual docs have not changed since v1.1, so for now you can
    reference the version in the 1.1 SDK. The profiling conceptual docs have not
    changed since Whidbey Beta 1, so for now you can reference the version in
    the Beta 1 SDK.

    For the .NET Framework v2.0 release we have documented the CLR unmanaged api's including Debugging, Fusion, Hosting, Metadata, and Profiling plus others. We also added more unmanaged content to MSDN online for our v.20 documentation updates which went live in October 2005 and May 2006. Updates included improved content, as well as conceptual content for Metadata. You can see the latest content on msdn2 located at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ch59zxfc(VS.80).aspx. We will be adding more conceptual content for Debugging and Profiling in our next doc online update.
