Link Method style is used to link a method name to the topic describing that method.
To create a link using this style, select the link text and press Link Method on the Doc-To-Help Documenter for .NET toolbar.
For this style, the Doc-To-Help compiler will apply the nested type separator substitution to the link text, if applicable, see Special Characters in Link Text, add the word Method to the text, and establish a link to the topic with the title coinciding with the resulting text.
By default, Doc-To-Help removes the name of the type containing the method, if the type name is present. You can change this behavior by using the special characters, exclamation sign and parenthesis. See Special Characters in Link Text. You can also use the argument list for method overloads, see Argument List in Links.
The following table demonstrates the usage of the Link Method style:
