.Net Framework Solutions
In Search of the Lost Win32 API
Résumé
If you've begun programming using Microsoft's .NET
Framework, you've discovered a lot of new and improved
functionality. But, more than likely, you've also
discovered a lot of missing functionality. Indeed, a third
of the functions supported by the old Win32 API are not yet
supported by .NET. Although you may not at first notice the
loss of Win32 API functionality in .NET, the more you
program, the more you'll realize how essential it is. As a
programmer, you will not want to do without these
solutions.
.NET Framework Solutions: In Search of the Lost Win32 API
is one more thing you can't do without: a complete guide to
your options for dealing with the functionality missing
from .NET. As you'll learn, some functions are handily
situated within Visual Basic or C#. In most cases, however,
you'll need to access the old Win32 API from the .NET
Framework. This is demanding work, but this book makes it
easy, walking you through every step and paying special
attention to the work of managing memory manually-the most
error-prone part of the process.
The topics covered inside are as varied as the missing
functionality: direct hardware access, low-level security
control, certain aspects of OS access, support for
multimedia and utilities, and DirectX. You also get
hard-to-find information on COM access, plus a collection
of examples-dealing with DirectX and the MMC Snap-ins-that
unite COM and Win32 access in especially illuminating
ways.
Over time, you can expect to see the .NET Framework
expanded to include much of what it now lacks. But your
programming tasks can't wait, and .NET Framework Solutions
makes you productive-today.
