Issue with deployment() function documentation

[jeffpatton1971]

Visual studio flags this syntax as incorrect

uri(deployment().properties.templateLink.uri

I'm unclear what's wrong with it, as I have lifted it directly from the site above. There seems to be no valid way, at least from the perspective of VisualStudio to correctly leverage this function.

uri(deployment().templateLink

According to VisualStudio the above is 100% correct, but the error returned from the deployment is that templateLink is not valid, only name and properties are valid. Yet, NEITHER of those two things show up when I attempt to use them. When I put them in manually it shows me the red wavy that means it's wrong.

It's difficult to leverage some of these when I'm unable to fully understand why the provided MS examples don't work. Can we get a full breakdown of all available properties for all functions in the documentation please?

Jeff Patton (@jeffpatton1971) - have you looked at the template functions documentation. Here is the deployment function.

Visual Studio does occasionally flag some syntax as incorrect even though the syntax is fine. This happens when VS has troubles resolving the schema. Deployment() is particularly difficult because the properties vary based on how the template was specified.

Tom,

So, yea, I read that, and I get the complexity there, but this came up as it relates to that property iteration doc that I told you about. The code as written simply didn't work, so perhaps some more detailed examples of how it works in different scenarios.
