MSDN does support friendly names: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;msdn.microsoft.com&#x2F;library&#x2F;system.string" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;msdn.microsoft.com&#x2F;library&#x2F;system.string</a> (works for any .net class)<p>I think the person who wrote this particular page simply didn&#x27;t specify a friendly name, which is why it&#x27;s falling back to the canonical name.
