Language dropdown

[nxtn]

Could you add a language dropdown menu so that C# and VB snippets won't show up at the same time?

@NextTurn I'm not sure how to do that. Have you seen it somewhere else on docs.microsoft.com? If so, please send a link to the page. Thanks.

Here's an example https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/framework/interop/msgbox-sample

@NextTurn If you look in the API section, this functionality does exist there; for example: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/documentformat.openxml.bibliography.abbreviatedcasenumber.localname?view=openxml-2.8.1

Yes, but could you make it apply to articles as well?

@NextTurn I'll look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.

@dmahugh - Doug, could you get this request to the right PM who can address it? Thanks...

The language selector dropdown menu is set in docfx.json.

See the following file for example

https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-api-docs/blob/65c1594178155f1f1ddf00319ab3bbc9fe5bc01a/docfx.json#L133

@lindalu-MSFT can you follow up on this? It's about adding the language selector drop-down to conceptual topics in open-xml-docs. See the thread for more info. Thanks.

@davidchesnut Hi David, can I get your help with this? I updated the JSON, added:

"langs": {
   "api/**.yml": ["csharp", "vb", "fsharp", "cpp"]
  }
},

and ran it through the JSON validator tool which came back as VALID.

We need to add the drop-down language selector. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I have a branch called lindalu-MSFT-add-langs where I made the change.

@lindalu-MSFT Hi, please have a try with the following:

"langs": {
  "**/*.yml": ["csharp", "vb"]
}

@NextTurn Did that do the trick? Sorry I lost track of this issue for a few days. I was out sick! :(

@lindalu-MSFT I guess that is correct. Can you verify it? Thanks!
