API docs for WindowsRuntimeBufferExtensions missing

[juliushardt]

Issue description
The API docs for System.Runtime.InteropServices.WindowsRuntime.WindowsRuntimeBufferExtensions could previously be found on MSDN, but I'm unable to find them on docs.microsoft.com. The old link from this page (Docs home > Windows > UWP apps > .NET for UWP apps > System.Runtime.InteropServices.WindowsRuntime) redirects to the new docs for the System.Runtime.InteropServices namespace, which don't contain an entry for WindowsRuntimeBufferExtensions. Unfortunately, selecting ".NET Core" instead of ".NET Framework 4.7.2" in the dropdown above the search box doesn't make it show up either and an option for "UWP" is not available.

It looks like the online docs for this class are currently unreachable.

Thanks, @juliushardt, for your feedback. We'll investigate.

This also brings the point of: do we need to include UWP as a target here @terrajobst @dend?

[mairaw]

We're working on getting to onboarding the UWP as a target in the .NET API Browser, but moving this into a future sprint because of other priorities going on right now.

@mairaw Should this more to a new project / milestone? (It's the only remaining issue in Feb)

[mairaw]

We're making progress towards this issue.

• UWP target was onboarded to the API browser and API now exists on docs
• PR import msdn content #2662 was open to migrate the content from MSDN
• Next, I need to work with the engineering team to fix the redirections

[mairaw]

Links like this https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/apps/system.runtime.interopservices.windowsruntime.windowsruntimebufferextensions.aspx now redirect to the appropriate place.
We don't have the same page on docs as https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/apps/mt185505.aspx, The best close match would be to redirect to the API browser search, as https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/?view=dotnet-uwp-10.0&term=system.runtime. Do you think that would that be better @juliushardt?

[mairaw]

Closing as this has been fixed.
