Find MSDN Page LinkId for http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=XXX

linksmsdnurl-shortening

It seems that the go.microsoft.com shortlinks for Microsoft pages are best practice to link to.

How do I find the shortlink for a MSDN page, in my case specifically?:

Best Answer

You can't. We use shortlinks like that internally and the recommendation applies to internal products only (e.g. a page changes the URL, we don't need to update the product and just update the shortlink).

For your purposes, you can either use the direct link to the MSDN page or use one of the available URL shortening services.
