Where did Visual Studio and c# documentation go?

A few months ago the web page accessed at https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/home changed - it no longer returns search results like it used to. For example, I used to be able to type "ComboBox" in the search bar (a list of possible matches would appear below the search bar as I typed - no longer happens) and, on hitting enter, I would be presented with a list of relevant links that would take me to pages defining the ComboBox class, showing all of the methods and properties, and giving example code. Some links would be to other forums that provided relevant posts on the searched term.

Where can I find this search page? Or have the powers-that-be decided to remove a good thing, and it now longer exists?

    Hi @Russ Beech ,

    The MSDN & TechNet libraries have been migrated to learn.microsoft.com, for more information see:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/teamblog/msdn-technet-migration

    For the current Visual Studio and C# documentations please see:

    Visual Studio - Documentation
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/?view=vs-2019

    C# - Documentation
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp

    If the reply was helpful please don't forget to upvote and/or accept as answer, thank you!

    Best regards,
