#9 Online SDK links to generics

[Xharze]

Online SDK links to generics does not work, this is because we can't supply the fullname of a generics to MSDN as we can with links to non-generics.

Using the Microsoft MTPS Content Service we can get the necessary content identifier for generics.

Example code:

getContentRequest request = new getContentRequest();
request.contentIdentifier = "AssetId:t:System.Collections.Generic.List`1";
ContentServicePortTypeClient proxy = new ContentServicePortTypeClient();
getContentResponse response = proxy.GetContent(new appId(), request);
Console.WriteLine(response.contentId);

This gets the content identifier for a List<T> type.
